"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I’ve been rocking the Carbide Bib Pant for storm days and sunny spring laps alike, and it just works. The Pertex Shield fabric keeps me dry in wet snow while still letting me breathe on long hikes. I especially love the stretch suspenders—they don’t dig in and move with me. Plus, the side zips make pit stops way less of a hassle.""We count on the Outdoor Research Carbide Bib Pant to deliver reliable performance from mid-winter pow days to warm spring corn missions. Outdoor Research built these bibs with Pertex Shield 3-layer fabric, giving us waterproof and breathable protection that holds up in storm cycles without trapping heat when we’re working up the skintrack. Loaded with smart features, the Carbide Bib Pant is designed with skiers and snowboarders in mind. A tricot backer wicks away moisture from our baselayers, dual side zips allow quick ventilation, and reinforced cuffs protect against ski edges and boot buckles. Pockets are positioned where we actually need them, with space for everything from an avalanche beacon to snacks and small essentials. The integrated suspenders stretch comfortably, and the unique Swing Hatch makes nature breaks quick and easy when we’re deep in the backcountry. These bibs are a staple for a reason: all-day comfort, storm-proof protection, and mountain versatility."
