This durable shell bib (816g M/L, 682g W/M) is made for powder runs in the backcountry but works excellent for all kinds of ski and snowboard activities as well. The bib is made in a premium GORE-TEX® fabric. We use it because It's the world-leading quality for durable waterproofness (28,000mm), optimized breathability (RET Less than 9), and total windproofness. The main fabric is a 3-layer 200D GORE-TEX® ePE-based PFC free technology (RET less than 9) with a 100% recycled nylon face (152 g/m2)The bottom of the legs is reinforced with a 220D Vectran fabric (350 g/m2) to increase durability where the pants tend to rub against boots or steel edges. Key features include mesh-lined zipper vents where the left zipper continues all up for easy dressing, lower leg adjustments with snap buttons, snow gaiters, two spacious thigh pockets, a key pocket, and stretchy and adjustable suspenders. The full covering front has two pockets – one with two internal compartments – and a 4-way stretch panel in the back. There is also a zipped fly on the men's design. This bib has a regular to relaxed fit with articulated knees to ensure great mobility – perfect for backcountry riding. In addition, the high rise bib design secures extra protection against the elements.
