We work with ski-gear testers nationwide, from the Tetons to Oregon’s volcanoes to the Pacific Northwest. And if there’s any clear lean amongst them, it’s this: They love ski bibs. Whether cruising groomers in the resort, hiking to sidecountry powder stashes, or earning their turns in the backcountry, the majority of our ski-gear testers wear ski bibs rather than pants. So, what is it about ski bibs that make them so beloved amongst core skiers?
