There are reasons ski patrollers and mountain guides often wear bibs: extra protection, pocket storage, full-zip side venting and a certain tough guy allure. But so many mountaineering bibs fit tight for climbing. So we took an ultra-technical bib and gave it a looser, free ride fit for skiing. Inner and outer thigh vents prevent overheating and allow for easy on/off and the expandable kangaroo pouch holds a ton of gear so you are always prepared.
