Patagonia Snowdrifter Bibs
The bib for people who actually skin.
Bibs are better than pants on the uptrack — no gap at the waist when you're bent over your bindings, no snow getting in when you posthole to your hip. The Snowdrifter gives you that coverage with stretch 3-layer H2No fabric that breathes on the climb and seals on the descent.
Drop-seat design means bathroom breaks don't require a full undress at the top of a run. Adjustable suspenders, cargo pockets, and generous venting round out a bib that's genuinely built for mixed uphill-downhill days rather than just looking the part.
Best for: Backcountry touring, splitboarding, any day with significant uphill travel.
Not for: Pure resort laps where you want easy on/off — the PowSlayer pants are simpler for that.
Fit: High-waisted cut with a longer torso. True to size. If you're between sizes, size up for layering room.
