Monstrous Norwegian ice pillars and Chugach powder can leave you smiling but soaked. When conditions dictate the need for bomber, waterproof/breathable big-mountain protection, the Women's Super Alpine Bibs from Patagonia prove durable, dry and mobile. They use GORE-TEX Pro Shell technology with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish, tough nylon outer and key-area reinforcements, and a micro-grid interior that optimizes breathability. Watertight, fully separating side zips allow easy on/off with boots and also form a drop seat; the pressed-pleat chest pockets stay flat, and two more pockets sit on the thighs; trim, watertight zippers throughout feature cleanly designed openings without excess weight and bulk. The ski-boot-compatible lower legs have scuff guards, internal gaiters, shock-cord adjustments and tie-down loops.
