I was looking for the best ski bibs out there so I got the Alpha SV. I was suprised that this bib "for climbers & skiers" had no internal gaiter. Not good for skiing! I was also amazed when I realized that in order to go to the bathroom, I had to completely unzip my coat and the powder skirt, and then unzip the bibs from the top to the bottom. TOO MUCH Exposure when it's cold or snowing! At 5'9" ,160 lbs, these bibs are constricting to me. They're designed for someone 15 lbs lighter(read climbers). Arcteryx is for climbers first & maybe skiers 2nd or 3rd.
