Impermeable, breathable, and feature packed, The North Face's Summit Verbier GTX Bib Pant is our pick for hunting fresh powder. On the climb, we keep the thigh vents open to let our building heat escape, and during the transition, we stuff our skins in the bib pocket to keep them from freezing up on the descent. As we chase our line, the regular, articulated fit gives us movement freedom, while the hems' stretch gaiters, the waist's jacket-to-pant attachment point, and the bib's full coverage ensure the spray doesn't shove or shower its way to our baselayers.
