Why We Built The Backcountry Cardiac GORE-TEX PRO Bib Pant
"So many vents, but even better, the two-way zippers on the outside of the bibs go from the top to the knees for easy breaks when nature's calling." —Gearhead® Expert Sammy
Long approach, gusting summit winds, chest-deep powder: We built our Backcountry Cardiac GORE-TEX PRO Bib Pant for the extremes. The 3-layer construction blocks out the wind and the wet and won't snag on branches or hook-and-loop tabs, yet it bends to our whim for unrestricted climbing and shredding and lets our microclimate breathe easy to keep the sweat to a minimum. When we're really testing our grit, we open the inner-thigh zips to boost airflow, and we stash our beanie and shell mitts in the bib pockets. And whenever nature calls, the waist's side zippers let us answer the call without having to ditch our jacket.

Ordered two sizes but had to return
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- M and L
- Height:
- 5' 3"
- Weight:
- 160
I ordered a large based on the size chart but the legs are huge, especially the flare at the bottom. The material is so loud when I walk and rubs against each other. The butt area has too much space and looks embarrassing. I loved the space in the thighs because my legs are huge compared to my upper body due to weightlifting. I ordered a medium in hopes that all my problems with the large would be resolved. Nope. The waist/lower breast area is too tight and when I sit it's hard to breath so that's not going to work for me either. Ultimately, I've had to return both and continue my search for a bib.

It's great quality and price But how many in the world could fit in size M and above Even their model is 5"10 wearing a small and this is the smallest size ? Come on

Perfect snowboarding jacket!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Size Bought:
- Medium
This jacket is exactly what I was looking for. It’s waterproof, breathable, and allows for lots of mobility. It runs big but the oversized style is exactly what I wanted for comfort and mobility!

my friends are jealous of these bibs
- Familiarity:

+1 to the reviewer who said these are the best backcountry bibs out there. I'm obsessed with the pockets, and the pockets in pockets. You see that little mesh pocket at the waist? That is the perfect pocket for fruit snacks to eat one by one on the uphill. The legs have mesh pockets in the pockets. Put my phone there for easy access to take photos from the top. 50 mph winds? no problem, these pants are truly windproof. They're big, baggy, and light as a feather, so if you're looking for pants to make your butt look cute, check out a different pair. If you're looking to save weight with bibs that are functional AF, look no further. Oh, and the purple color is much nicer IRL. I love them so much that I tried to get the jacket so I could rock a full purple suit but y'all are sold out.

Almost perfect!

Love love love these bibs. They’re durable, block out wind and moisture, but can also be easily vented. They have plenty of pockets and the color is fantastic! Agree they run large - I normally wear a small and the extra small is still fairly baggy on me. Just a couple small things: I wish they had a stronger snap for the front zipper because when popping into low turns or landing a jump, it tends to pop open and then the zipper comes undone as well. The legs are a little short on me as to be expected, so would appreciate clips at the end to hold them over ski boots like many brands have. Otherwise fantastic!

Run big, but love them
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- XS
These are more traffic cone orange than they looked in the photos, but I still love them. Per other reviewers, I sized down and am so glad I did. I am 5’4”, a size 2-4 in pants, athletic build with narrow shoulders, and the XS is perfect. I would say there is still room in the ribs/hips area if I were to be bigger.

Perimenopausal shredbetty LOVE!!

I'm 50. I'm a CrossFitter w/ athletic upper-legs, and as an elder babe "adjusting to a new season of life," I'm a lot heavier than I've ever been. And, I love having boobs and a booty! I've blown-out my lead-leg knee 2x, so also wear a 20y/o CTI Lite knee-brace. Sure, I'd love to replace it with something leaner, but that time isn't here just yet. I ride to shred, not to go-out looking like Barbie in bibs. I also started to ride in the 1990s, so prefer the baggier fit. These are the ONLY bibs I've found with BOTH a rear-exit for potty breaks in the woods, room for my knee brace, room for my booty/thighs, room for my oversized belleh, AND room for layers. The only other bibs I was seriously considering, were Flylow's Baker bibs. For dudes. Cuz they're also a cute pink; but had no rear-exit. Sure, someday I'd love to be able to fit into Barbie-shaped bibs with the pin-tucked knees & everything; but I no longer have time for lengthy hospital stays or years to rebuild an atrophied leg from an ACL tear. And, I wanna squat +200lbs in the next coupla years. TL;DR, these bibs are CUTE, and feel like they're gonna let me shred all day in comfort. THANK YOU for making these bibs suited for my older, transitioning, burly body. <3 Stoked as hell to take these out, tomorrow. I've been trying on bibs for TWO YEARS, and these are the first ones I feel confidently awesome about. Yes, the material feels a touch flimsy (which I'm a little worried about); but they also weigh less than half of what my bulky Carhartts did. If these don't hold up, I'll return to update my review.

Love the colors
I LOVE the color, but the pants were way too baggy. I ordered an XS, so I had to return. Too bad, I hope the next reiteration will be more slim fit.

I’m a fan

Pleasantly surprised by these bibs! Has everything you’d expect in a high end goretex pant- good pockets, zippers, and quality build ect. What I ended up loving about these that was unexpected is that they work as both bibs and pants for me! I’m taller than average so can have a hard time with bibs being long enough. When I tried these on I found the way they are cut I can wear them a low sitting pant or a traditional bib, which is awesome. Super comfortable and have already got a lot of compliments from strangers on the color(I got the red&pink). Big fan!
