"These shell bibs have every box checked. From waterproof protection to eco-friendly materials, there's no reason for me to wear anything else at the resort. Even with the updated GORE-TEX fabric, I can tell the shell is just as tough as always." —Gearhead® Expert AlexWhether we're getting the goods off Great Western on a pow day or seeking out sidehits in Minny Basin come springtime, the Backcountry Cottonwoods GORE-TEX Shell Bibs have us covered with waterproof, breathable performance in a earth-friendly design for big days at the mountain. We made this pair of shell bibs intentionally with an updated, PFAS-free* 2-layer GORE-TEX membrane to keep winter's worst at bay, along with robust features such as inner thigh vents for quick cooldowns, inseam gusset for added mobility, and a ton of pockets to keep essentials close at hand. Our favorite new feature is the self-adhering bib straps: with limited hardware to slow us down or make us uncomfortable, we still dial in the perfect fit for a full day on the hill.*made without intentionally added per- and polyfluorinated substances; may contain trace amounts
