From the climb to the turns, Salomon's Moon Patrol GORE-TEX Bib has us moving with ease. The stretch material and MotionFit 360° patterning have this pair following our every move, while the 3-layer, seam-sealed construction shuts out snow and wind yet still lets our own sweat vapor escape to keep us comfortably dry underneath. On long, steep approaches, we open the thigh zips to turn up the air, and before the drop, we make sure the gaiters and waist are snug to ensure the waist-deep powder doesn't force its way in.
