Solid ski bib I used TNF's Men's Foundation bib for a recent spring ski trip to Telluride, CO. The bib definitely withstood the fresh powder (even when subject to my awesome wipeouts) and cold mornings as I stayed warm and dry. Even as the temperature warmed up in the afternoon, the zippered crotch vents were like a personal AC for my loins. The side zipper is a bit awkward in that it wasn't the most intuitive way to slip in and out of a bib. Also, the fly unzips from bottom to top and is fairly well hidden (so much so that I spent my first trip to the bathroom trying to find a way to urinate out of the side entry zipper). I wore the bib over a thermal skin and this was perfect for 30-45 degree skiing. Also, I'm 6 feet tall and about 180 lbs and had no problem with the size--while the bib does have belt loops, I felt that the suspenders were secure enough to keep me from streaking down the slopes. The cargo pockets were large and in charge, at least enough to comfortably fit a wallet, cell phone, and camera in a single pocket. In addition to the cargo pockets, it has two other pants pockets and one kangaroo pocket on the bib. Customer service was great--Altrec shipped it out before I seemed to have placed my order. I would certainly recommend this bib!

Above average comfort and snow proof, side-zipper not great The bib is thin-lined and perfect for layering with thermal skins. My guy is used to the convenience of the on-off front zipper so, this "side zipper experience" is more time-consuming and more difficult to reach and keep things tucked in when you're trying to close it. He loves all the easy to reach pockets.
