Through a full day of turns and lift rides, the Volcom Battle Stretch Bib Pant keeps a skinny, high-rise cut moving on a stretch fabric blended with 11 percent elastane. A fleece backer rounds out the 3-layer construction. A DWR finish tops the shell of these ski and snowboard bib pants. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I open the extended hem zips to get my boot through the cuff, then close them over the boot and set the gaiter's lace hook on my laces. The cuff closes around the boot, so snow stays outside."
