The North Face: Men's Foundation Bib - 17 Reviews

Nikhil Waingankar - 2008-04-14
Solid ski bib I used TNF's Men's Foundation bib for a recent spring ski trip to Telluride, CO. The bib definitely withstood the fresh powder (even when subject to my awesome wipeouts) and cold mornings as I stayed warm and dry. Even as the temperature warmed up in the afternoon, the zippered crotch vents were like a personal AC for my loins. The side zipper is a bit awkward in that it wasn't the most intuitive way to slip in and out of a bib. Also, the fly unzips from bottom to top and is fairly well hidden (so much so that I spent my first trip to the bathroom trying to find a way to urinate out of the side entry zipper). I wore the bib over a thermal skin and this was perfect for 30-45 degree skiing. Also, I'm 6 feet tall and about 180 lbs and had no problem with the size--while the bib does have belt loops, I felt that the suspenders were secure enough to keep me from streaking down the slopes. The cargo pockets were large and in charge, at least enough to comfortably fit a wallet, cell phone, and camera in a single pocket. In addition to the cargo pockets, it has two other pants pockets and one kangaroo pocket on the bib. Customer service was great--Altrec shipped it out before I seemed to have placed my order. I would certainly recommend this bib!

Fantastic Product These Bibs are excellent for both on piste and off piste skiing. Freedom of movement allows for up-skiing without binding and unencumbered bumps skiing. Highly recommended.

Good bib, warm, waterproof, flexible. Overall, a very good pair of bib pants. They are warm without being too worm, texture is comfortable, rear (and all the rest of course)is waterproof. I think you need a belt to avoid going too low on your waist (elastic bands being... elastic). Very good for layering: you can ski with just one thermal layer underneath and feel OK. Happy with the purchase and would recommend it. I would have put the cargo pockets (or at least one of them) below the knee (like for pilots) so you won't get hurt if you fall on your thigh with an object in the pocket).
