Carbide Bib Pant delivers stormproof protection for deep powder days
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"These bibs are awesome on storm days—Pertex Shield keeps snow out even when it’s nuking, and the fit is super comfortable for layering. The Arcade webbing suspenders are a sweet touch, and the swing hatch is honestly a game changer when you’re out there all day. They feel durable without being heavy."
We reach for the Carbide Bib Pant when the forecast calls for fresh snow and we’re gearing up for big days on the mountain. Outdoor Research builds these bibs with a fully waterproof, breathable Pertex Shield 3-layer construction that seals out moisture while letting heat escape during storm laps and bootpacks. Fully taped seams, robust scuff guards, and smart pocketing make them ready for deep-snow missions, long days at the resort, or sidecountry adventures.
Comfort-forward details like Arcade webbing suspenders keep the bibs secure without digging in, and dual side zips make getting in and out easy at the car or the lodge. When nature calls mid-session, the swing hatch means we don’t have to disassemble our entire kit—just a quick zip and back to the powder. With a regular fit that layers well and an internal gaiter that keeps snow out of our boots, these bibs become a go-to whenever winter is at its best.

Poor quality good fit
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
After 7 days of wearing these for east coast skiing, these pants are fraying at the waist and leg bottom and generally falling apart.

Nice, Thin, Bibs
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
These are super comfy! Very thin, though, need multiple layers underneath. I am in between a M & a L, glad I got the L.

Tight in the legs
The bibs are fine but you'll need to size up unless you're rocking legs like twigs

bibs
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
my first pair, they seem a little snug and the bottom collar is a little tight going over my T2s. I wonder how long the elastic is going to hold up?
