High coverage with adjustable warmth
This is a high-front bib with adjustable suspenders, not an insulated pair of ski pants. The relaxed straight legs and shaped knees provide room for movement and layers.
For cold mornings and high lifts, choose a warmer base layer or additional leg insulation. On milder days, a lighter combination underneath avoids carrying the same fixed amount of warmth all afternoon.
Weather protection and the vent layout
The three-layer, 40-denier GORE-TEX Pro fabric has fully sealed seams. Cordura reinforcement covers the lower legs, while elastic-edged gaiters and jacket-connection loops help keep snow out around the openings.
Ventilation is at the back panel. This is not the same arrangement as long thigh zippers that you can open directly along your legs, so consider whether that vent layout suits how you manage heat.
Pockets, access and safety details
There are front and leg pockets, hand pockets beneath flaps and a zipped pocket with a transceiver loop. Use that loop only in accordance with the transceiver maker’s carrying instructions.
A zip fly provides access below the bib, and exposed zippers are AquaGuard. A RECCO reflector is included, but it is not an avalanche transceiver and does not replace one for backcountry travel.
Where we suggest it
- Zermatt in April: High coverage with separate insulation suits the contrast between milder afternoons and cold upper slopes.
- Cervinia in April: Wear lighter underlayers on milder runs and carry extra warmth for cold days higher up.
