Pants & Bibs
The 2025/26 season brings some of the most exciting updates we've seen in ski and snowboard pants. Whether you're lapping the resort, exploring out of bounds, or throwing big air in the park, this year's lineup has something major going for it: brands are nailing the balance between bulletproof performance and real-world comfort. The big story? Sustainability is no longer a compromise—expect PFAS-free waterproofing, recycled fabrics that feel primo, and drop seats engineered by people who clearly spend time in the mountains. Bibs continue their takeover with better pocket layouts, smarter ventilation systems, and fits that range from sleek Euro-type to roomy freeride cuts. Add in durability upgrades like beefier kick patches and reinforced hems, plus a design trend toward bold monochromatic kits, and you've got a season where your bottom half can finally keep up with your ambitions. Here are a few picks from our lineup that are worth your attention.
Norrona Lofoten Gore-Tex Pro
This Norwegian-engineered technical piece features Gore-Tex's most rugged Pro membrane with PFAS-free ePE technology and a burly 200-denier shell fabric—built to hand the worst mother nature might throw at you. Despite the bombproof material, what sets it apart is the ingenious convertible design: a zipper runs along the entire waistband, allowing you to zip on a separate bib top (sold separately). This means you essentially get two pieces of gear in one system—pants for milder days, full bibs when the weather turns nasty. Available in both men's and women's.
Obermeyer Perseus Bibs
The Perseus is a no-nonsense bib for resort skiers and riders who value warmth, easy of use, and a classic style that just works. This insulated bib is designed specifically for those extra-cold resort days when you need protection on long lift rides and wind-exposed runs. The standout feature is the side-opening snap closure—a smart design choice that makes getting in and out far easier than traditional bibs, while also improving mobility when you're cranking turns or adjusting your boots.
