BE WARNED! My order of 4 sets came in incomplete. When I ordered they were marked as IN STOCK and confirmed by email. However, the next day I get an email stating the XL parka was discontinued and it was canceled from the order. Now I am left with two medium sets bib/parka (wife and one neighbor), one large set bib/parka (neighbors brother), and one XL bib (my butt). Thus far they are not willing to make suitable amends. Many of you ordered yours after me so you may not get what you expect!
As far as fit, Im 6'5" and 220 and the XL pants fit well including the length but are a bit baggy in the butt without layering underneath. The bib cuffs are not zippered but they have a snap adjustment, and there are only two non closure pockets in the bibs. The Lg parka fits me well and might actually be a slight bit big in the abdomen. The arms are plenty long enough for drawing a bow (31" draw) without the sleves pulling up. There are 4 external pockets on it and no internal pockets and the cuffs close with velcro. I wear a 17 1/2 by 36-37 shirt for comparison.
I will update with info from customer service when I get it.
If anyone gets a Lg or XL parka that doesent fit them let me know, I am apparently in need of one.

Up date:
After first trying to get either a large or xl parka from cabelas then trying to convince Cabelas to send me the MOB versions of the bib/parka at the Natural Gear close out price to no avail, I finally resoted to rattling the saber a bit. I linked this thread and all of the customers I have a potential audience with, reminded them I am a cabelas member and spend on average 1500 a year with them, and pointed out how bad the customer service was. In result they agreed to let me have the extra pair of bibs for free and credit my cabelas card for them. Of course their other option was to take them in return AND pay shipping, so it worked out in their favor too.
I still cant believe I now have 3.5 sets of outerware. The wife gets to keep the mediums, I keep the xl pants, but what to do with the other medium set and the Lg set?
I could keep the LG set and use the parka which I like and give one of the neighbor brothers the medium set or I could just give both of them a set one medium and one large and I get stuck with a mismatched pair of xl bibs.
Decisions... decisions.
FWIW tomorrow morning I will be posting my 10k on the OT and I hope to have a little something worth seeing for everyone.
