The North Face Foundation Bib - Men's
multi-purpose

Ranked #1895 - Men's Ski Pants
October 8, 2007
Bought this for my husband, who skis, and he LOVES it.
He hasn't been able to retire his old bib entirely, though, because I beg the Foundation Bib off him anytime the kids want me to take them sledding--I hate being cold, I hate bulking up in layer upon layer of clothing, and I hate the too-short fit of most ski pants; basically, the only time I don't hate winter is when I'm wearing this bib.
My brother bought the same bib to use for mountaineering. I thought he was crazy to climb in ski bib, but it has held up so well that another climber from his mountaineering group switched to a Foundation Bib.
