Arc'teryx Alpha SV Bib - Men's

As the burliest mountain pants in the Arc'teryx lineup, the Men's Alpha SV Bibs keep you bone dry in the worst mountain storms thanks to three-layer Gore-Tex Pro material. Not only do these waterproof breathable pants fight off horrendous snowstorms with ease, they also keep you from overheating with an ultra-breathable Schoeller Dynamic softshell upper. Waist-to-ankle side zippers provide ventilation and allow you to put on these pants even when you're wearing mountaineering boots. Arc'teryx added a through-the-crotch zipper to the Alpha SV Bibs to make answering natures call a little easier.

Bottom Line: Count on the super-tough Arc'teryx Alpha SV Bibs to protect you through the worst storms you encounter in the mountains.

Any problems with snow in the boots since they don't have gaiters?...

Any problems with snow in the boots since they don't have gaiters? I would use them mainly for backcountry skiing, so they would be going over a tele boot.

No problem, I use them with Garmont Excursions and have snow climbed in deep snow with no problem, cinch the drawcord down. I also sometimes use a velcro strap around outside at the bottom at .2 ounce each, the ultimate ultralight gaiter. The bibs have grommets on the bottom for a strap under the instep but I haven't used that.

If they are mainly for day skiing you might consider the heavier duty Arcteryx bibs.
