We appreciate the fact that Outdoor Research created the Carbide Bib Pants for some of the snowiest days of the year, and outfitted them with stylish Arcade belt webbing suspender straps. Waterproof, breathable protection comes in the form of fully sealed seams and a 3-layer Pertex Shield construction, while a multitude of pockets carries everything from our wallet and phone to trail maps and avalanche beacon. Plus, OR even gave these bibs a Swing Hatch to help us answer nature's call when we're in the middle of a powder run.
