From long approaches to the hard - earned powder turns, our Backcountry Gore - Tex Windstopper Hybrid Touring Bib Pant and nbsp keeps our baselayers dry for ultimate comfort through the climb and descent. Gore - Tex's most breathable technology is laminated to the stretchy and rugged double - weave fabric borrowed from our Mtb line to deliver extreme water - resistant, wind - blocking power that stands strong through harsh conditions for optimal pow - chasing performance. As we glide and kickturn up the skintrack, our legs move freely and our microclimates breathe easy underneath the stretch construction. On the final bootpack section, the two - way side zipper lets us boost the airflow to ensure we don't overheat. As we transition, we slip our skins inside the mesh bib pocket to keep them from freezing up on the way down.
