Whether you’re navigating deep powder or charging through wet snow, these bibs keep you dry, warm, and moving freely.

Thanks to the 20,000mm waterproof rating and BD.dry 3-layer fabric, you’ll stay dry even in the wettest conditions. The four-way stretch fabric moves with you, giving full range of motion for skinning, hiking, or descending technical terrain. Side zip vents let you dump heat on the climb, while reinforced kick patches protect against ski edge wear.
