What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I wore these through a full storm cycle at the resort and never felt a drop get through. The stretch panels move with me through deep snow days, and the snap-down gaiters kept everything out even after a few hard falls."Storm days at the resort ask a lot of your gear, and the Freedom Bib Pant is built to answer. The North Face designed it as a straight-leg bib that sits comfortably over ski and snowboard boots, with adjustable suspenders that stay put through chairlift rides and hard turns alike, whether you're chasing fresh snow at first chair or logging laps until the lifts close. Underneath that simple, classic look is a DRYVENT 2L shell with a fluorine-free DWR finish that keeps weather out lap after lap, backed by a stretch woven back panel and body-mapped lining for freedom of movement in the seat and legs. High denier kickpatches guard against edge strikes, while snap-down gaiters with gripper elastic integrate with your boots to keep snow from creeping in, so the only thing you're thinking about on the mountain is your next line.
