Goretex Bibs

Frequently Asked Questions:

Are bibs better than pants?

It depends on the activity and conditions. In general, snow bibs provide more coverage than pants and offer a better fit with your layers, which is especially important when you’re out in cold weather for an extended period of time. Bibs also work as an excellent additional layer underneath a snow skirt to keep out snow even on the deepest pow days. However, they can be bulkier and don’t have the same flexibility of movement that pants provide — so if you’re skiing or snowboarding, you might prefer a standard pair of insulated or shell pants.
Ultimately, it’s up to you and your individual needs to decide which are better for you. Consider the activity and weather conditions before making a decision. If the temperatures drop suddenly or start snowing heavily, you may want to opt for a pair of bibs for extra warmth and protection. Or if you’re skiing in milder conditions, pants might be a better choice. Regardless of your preference, make sure to wear layers appropriate for the weather and activity. That way you can stay safe and comfortable no matter what!.

Gore-Tex has many engineered materials including PacLite, Infinium, Windstopper, and Pro. Gore-tex membrane alone is not specifically designed to retain warmth as it is engineered to allow thermal regulation, breathability, and for moisture and sweat to evaporate out of the garment. Gore-Tex materials are often paired with durable face fabrics and insulating layers to provide a garment with exception weather resistance, durability, and warmth retention.
