    Built for sidecountry skiing across a wide range of conditions, Outdoor Research Vanguard Bib shell pants feature fleece-backed Gore-Tex® soft shell fabric, allowing you to reduce your layers.

    • 3-layer Gore-Tex® soft shell provides breathable, waterproof protection from the elements, while maintaining a gentle feel
    • Fully taped seams prevent water from penetrating through seams
    • Polyester fleece lining adds a touch of warmth and wicks moisture so you don't get clammy; fleece-backing on front/back to knees; tricot backer on front/back below knees
    • Bib top extends coverage and adjustable suspenders secure the fit; remove bib when conditions are warmer
    • Articulated knees offer a comfortable fit and freedom of movement
    • Zippered inner thigh vents keep you dry and comfortable by dumping excess heat and moisture
    • Zippered hand pockets, zippered chest pocket on bib, zippered thigh pocket and a beacon-specific pocket just to inside of right front thigh, where it's protected against falls
    • All zippers are water resistant
    • Stretch-mesh grippers seal out snow around boots and help regulate warmth
    • Embedded RECCO® reflector enhances radio signals from search-and-rescue RECCO detectors to speed location acquisition in an avalanche

    Imported.

    Comments about Outdoor Research Vanguard Bib Shell Pants - Men's:

    Hit the skin track at minus 10, two hours later it was pushing 30 degrees and was shocked at how well my temp stayed regulated wearing the radiant hybrid tights by OR underneath. I worried i would be way too hot shortly in, but was pleased to really experience the soft shell. It is truly increadable its breathability and gore tex water protection make this a high performance pant. Add a removable bib and these are the ultimate ski pant. I cant imagine skiing deep blower pwder without bibs, but love a standard pant on a warm spring day, I have found success. Access to the knee could be a bit better, but the vents allow for putting on knee pads. The only complaint is the fly zips down not up. Overall extreamly worth it as a top of the line pant.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
