who still uses bibs instead of pants these days? I recently acquired a pair while looking for the pants version, cd up short and someone rogered up with the bib version of what I wanted. Are people using mainly for expedition? Or crashing too? Pros? cons? I've never used bibs, and don't know anyone who has

I have a pair of Patagonia North Wall pants that are basically bibs. The NWs come up higher than my waist and have suspenders. I love them! The Patty pants are warmer and I feel I have more mobility.

I also have a pair of dead bird bibs but doesn't everybody?

NWAlpine Alpinist bib, Love them, softshell, barely any insulation so you layer as you need.

Alpine boarding taught me to care about how it,s a challenge to keep snow out. The answer is bibs and an R1 hoody, sealed!

I have a pair of dead bird, Gamma MX pants, wore them 4 times, too warm, too long, too expensive to get them fitted.
