Skytour AscentShell Bib Pant - Men's

AscentShell is a proprietary fabric technology that is both waterproof and breathable. This means it keeps rain and snow out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape. This dual functionality helps you stay dry and comfortable during activities like skiing or snowboarding, enhancing your overall experience on the slopes.

The gusseted crotch adds extra fabric in the crotch area, allowing for greater freedom of movement. This design feature is particularly beneficial for activities that require a lot of leg movement, such as skiing or snowboarding, as it enables you to bend, squat, and move without feeling restricted.

An articulated fit is tailored to follow the natural shape of your body, providing better movement and comfort. For instance, the knees are shaped to allow for bending without pulling or straining the fabric. This design ensures that you can move freely and comfortably, which is essential for active outdoor pursuits.

The beacon clip is designed to securely hold a safety beacon, which is crucial for locating individuals in case of an avalanche. Having the beacon easily accessible and attached to your bib pant ensures that you are prepared for emergencies, enhancing your safety while enjoying backcountry adventures.

The swing hatch is a convenient design element that allows for easier access when you need to use the restroom. Instead of removing the entire bib, the swing hatch provides a quick and easy opening, making it particularly useful during long outdoor activities where changing clothes can be cumbersome.

The combination of AscentShell fabric, gusseted crotch, articulated fit, beacon clip, and swing hatch all work together to provide you with comfort, mobility, safety, and convenience. These advanced features ensure that you can focus on enjoying your time on the slopes without being hindered by discomfort or safety concerns.
