Touring deep in the backcountry requires lightweight waterproof breathable and durable gear. It's a lot to ask for from most bibs but The North Face Ceptor Bib Pant is up to the task. The 3-layer DryVent fabric is uniquely capable of wicking moisture away from our skin as we huff and puff up the skin track and offers incredible waterproofing as we send snow flying on the descent. The Chimney Venting system helps to circulate air through the inner thigh vents so we have optimal airflow during high-output activities. The reinforced kickpatches ensure that rough edges don't rip our bibs to shreds as we kick-turn our way to the top.
