Skytour AscentShell Bib Pant - Men's

great bibs!

love the fit of these. they're not super baggy, nor tight. there's also a bit of stretch which is super nice to have! Pocket setup is fantastic and makes access convenient. really like the power strap slots which makes it easier toto access the walk lever on my boots.

Great fit, Lightweight and great for Alaskan Backcountry

Have been touring with these in the spring conditions they breath well and shed water very well.

First pair of bibs

I purchased this as my first pair of bibs mostly because of the dedicated beacon pocket. The thin and stretchy nature gets me pumped for summer and future skiing. I am excited to not feel like I am wearing a plastic bag on my legs for future ski trips.

Nice ski bibs

Nice ski bibs, just having a small issue with the snow cuff. It's really hard to stretch it around my ski boot.

Great Shell for Ski Touring

I've use these bibs throughout the winter for ski touring and they have worked great. They are super breathable compared to other bibs I have used, which is the best feature for me as I run pretty hot. I also like the chest zip as it can be unzipped to dump extra heat and provide better airflow. Pocket placement is also great and I really like the chest beacon pocket. They do get a little cold if you are using them for lift accessed skiing but I don't think that is their intended use. Overall 5/5 great bibs.

Excellent Shell

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Size Bought:

Medium

It fits me really well. I got a medium I’m 6ft 165 pounds. The back where the straps are looks a little weird cause it has extra material but to me that doesn’t matter. Very good waterproofing, it’s stretchy and gaiters are the legs are tight so it keeps everything out.

Great fit

I recently purchased these bibs after my season had ended so I will not be riding in them until next year. I purchased to use at the resort and, to a lesser extent, in the backcountry. I can't yet comment on functionality, but the fit is pretty spot on for me. I'm 5'10" 170 and the medium with 32" inseam is great. I have room for a couple of layers (base layer and Nano Air). I like the pocket configuration, and the gaiter fits perfectly around my K2 Maysis boots. The stretch feels amazing, and I'm excited to get them on snow next season.

Great fit, great warmth and resistance to wet weather

Unfortunately we lost our winter early but one wearing is all i needed. Great set of bibs, well worth the money. Fit is fantastic, warmth and weather resistance is outstanding.

Great Bibs

I'm 5'11" around 200lbs and a size L Short fits great. I bought a size L and the pants had waaay to much material in the leg, so I went with the short and I'm satisfied. For reference I'm around a 31" leg in normal pants. I have worn them once on a chilly ish day and noticed if being quite a bit colder than my other pants. I have a pair of Marmot pants but wanted a big. Usually I just wear a pair of Nike winter tights under my marmot's, even on chilly days, and I usually never feel any sort of wind or coolness on my legs. But, with these I did. Not really a big deal since it is a shell, I'll just have to wear a bit more underneath. Overall I'd recommend these. Only reason for the 3 star is the long legs on the normal L AND I had to pay return shipping on the first pair. Which should be free like every other company these days. Ps, I do get the little flair of material on my back. But this doesn't affect anything.

Perfect Fit

I've tried a few other bibs but these are by far the best and allow for the most movement. All while keeping me warm and dry! The best thing is that when I completely yardsaled while bombing down a blue they kept the snow out and all my bones in. Would highly recommend!
