Review: Outdoor Research Cloudchaser 3L Bibs

There’s nothing worse than a cold breeze up your back or snow melting down your pants when you're trying to enjoy a ski day. After falling in love with the Cloudchaser Jacket from Outdoor Research, I decided to pair it with the Cloudchaser Bibs to complete my downhill and backcountry outfit.

These bibs feature Pertex Shield Stretch materials that move with me, no matter what the mountain throws my way. The adjustable straps accommodate layering needs without digging into my shoulders or causing any discomfort throughout the day, and the front pockets are ideal for keeping essentials close to the chest.

If I’m being honest, I avoided bibs for a long time, assuming they’d be bulky or uncomfortable. But now that I’m chasing clouds, I doubt I’ll be going back to pants anytime soon.

Available at Outdoor Research; $385.
