Why We Like The Hemispheres Bib

Whether we're skinning with just a light pack or with all of our mountaineering gear, the track can be draining. With the Outdoor Research Hemispheres Bib, we get to enjoy it with waterproof protection that won't make us feel like a walking sauna. GORE-TEX C-Knit technology makes things exceptionally breathable, and external thigh vents allow us to increase airflow, while the stretch technology provides freedom that doesn't sacrifice protection.

Hemisphere bibs

Flattering design, quality tech fabrics, beautiful color (elk). I am 5'9 130lbs and the small fit great with room to layer.

Flexible, Waterproof, Lightweight!

I have worked in these bibs and they are sharp looking and perfect for rainy and snow days. They are super stretchy which allows for optimal movement while touring & a good apres outfit as well. Would highly recommend & buy again!!

Definitely recommend

I took these on a 57 day skiing expedition in Antarctica and wore them all day every day. They held up perfectly and were very comfortable and easy to move in, I used a fleece base layer underneath and stayed warm enough and the wind protection was good. They have a drop seat on the right side which was great, and they vent from the drop seat down to just above the knee on the right side and just down the side of the thigh on the left. The part of the description that says they have full length zips is incorrect, although for me this wasn't an issue at all. The chest pocket pocket was the right size to fit my iPhone plus headphones and not much else. Great alternative to some of the better known polar ski gear for women, and I also like how they look on which is a bonus!

Functions beautifully, fit is very good

I love this bib. I used it for warm resort skiing days and backcountry skiing in all conditions. The stretch panels help me feel like my movement is never impaired, I get plenty of breathability from the size zipper vents, and the pockets are plentiful. It takes some getting used to, but going to the bathroom without getting completely undressed is also a wonderful feature. Although I am 5'2", I went with the medium, because I am very curvy at the butt, hips, and thighs. I used to have a small, which mostly fit, but I got tired of feeling like my thighs were going to burst out any time I sat down or used my legs for anything. The medium is a little loose around my chest and is too long, but it fits my thighs so much better. I can actually fit things in the upper thigh pockets now! In summary, the jacket functions beautifully, but there are a few fit things that could be tweaked. OR in general really needs to make more gear for short, curvy athletes.

Super high quality

I would highly recommend these bibs! Superior quality and features you look for in the back country and on mountain. Will keep you warm and dry on the coldest and wettest days...

Love these bibs!

These are the my first pair of backcountry bibs. I've only worn them once and I love them! The stretch material is amazing and makes them so comfortable to move and sit in. My beacon fits in the beacon pocket perfectly and it doesn't feel too tight with the extra bulk. I'm 5'3ish and 140lbs and the M fit, albeit a little bulky and not very flattering (the only reason these arent 5 stars). I also sat on the snow and could definitely feel the chill--so make sure you wear the right layers. Other than that, the pockets are perfect and functional. 10/10 love these bibs and excited to take them on more adventures.

Second Pair. Won't Ski in Anything Else.

After two seasons of absolutely loving these bibs, I bought a second pair and will donate any other ski pants I own. These are just that good - waterproof, comfortable, easy to take on and off, durable, smartly designed, flattering - once you wear these, you'll never wear other ski pants again.

Best Bibs I've had.

Absolutely love these. The drop seat is so much more convenient than other bibs I've had, the stretch makes them absolutely comfy. they are not too long, which is nice. No pulling or adjusting while wearing them, I honestly just didn't even notice them while I was skinning, and that is pretty awesome!

Great bibs

Love these bibs for backcountry skiing. Pockets in all the right places and ample ventilation. I will primarily use these for the bc as there is no insulation - could be cold riding chairs at the resort. I am very happy with this purchase.

love these bibs!

I really really like these bibs! I've wanted bibs for a long time now and these do not disappoint. I've worn them for numerous downhill days in CO and a few backcountry tour days as well, and here are some thoughts... Pros: The material has great stretch where you want it (sides and inner thighs) and is so far definitely waterproof and yet pretty breathable. I like the pocket placements (esp the chest zip pocket that keeps my phone warm, and so not dead, and I can feel when it buzzes while skiing). Other reviews say it, and I agree, you can absolutely use the bathroom in these bibs which is stellar, although it does take a bit of effort when you're layered up for skiing. Cons: Not sure it's really a con, but it's a consideration...I find that OR in general doesn't make clothing cut for women with much bust. I am moderately chesty and find that these bibs are no different and fit pretty snuggly around my chest. I've played with layering to made it work, but I definitely wondered at the beginning if these were too tight around the ribs. I gave them a 4/5 just so women know to look at the size chart carefully to make sure you're getting something that works for you. Otherwise, I find the amount of leg and hip room works great for me (5'6", ~170, square-ish shaped), close fitting without being too too tight and I feel able to get into an athletic ski stance in these no problem. Also, these bibs aren't lined/insulated, which I was looking for, but be forewarned that they can be chilly for the legs on windy days or when sitting in snow if you don't layer underneath them thoughtfully. Overall: Would definitely recommend!
