We felt like the perfect touring pant didn't exist so we made it. The TourTech Bib presents the best of both worlds offering a breathable softshell fabric in the upper half and a waterproof, breathable hardshell in the lower half. This allows your high output areas to breathe, while the areas that interface with the snow more frequently have waterproofness.

 

Production is currently underway. Short and Tall inseams shipping. Reg inseams shipping late December.

Hybrid Materials
Body mapped breathability
Body mapped breathability

Breathability and weather protection where you need it. The TourTech bib is 69% softshell and 31% hardshell. Hardshell on the lower leg gives you protection for trail breaking, kneeling and bootpacking while not sacrificing breathability due to the ample 20 CFM softshell.

Perforated Bib
Ultrabreathable bib for comfort
Ultrabreathable bib for comfort

We were tired of other brand making a "touring bib" with non-breathable materials up to your chest. We like a bib for comfort so nothing is around our waist constricting movement or getting pushed down from your pack, but it needed to be breathable so we laser cut holes into it.

Beacon Pockets
Pocket and clip on both sides
Pocket and clip on both sides

Internal beacon pocket in both pockets with a webbing loop sewn into the side seam of the pant for extra security to clip your beacon.

Bomber Kickpatch
Kevlar Cuff Guard Material
Kevlar Cuff Guard Material

We didn't skimp on the kickpatch. The kickpatch is 23% kevlar and wraps the entire hem of the pant to stand up to whatever you throw at it from crampons to long dry approaches.

Drop Seat
Go #2 easily
Go #2 easily

Drop seat allows you to easily go to the bathroom without taking your layers or suspenders off.

Venting
Thigh vents on both sides
Thigh vents on both sides

Vents on the outer legs, shifted slightly towards the back for high output tours.

Gaiter
Power strap pass through on gaiter
Power strap pass through on gaiter

2 zippered slits in the gaiter allow you to pass your booster strap through so you don't have to lift your gaiter on transitions. This also keeps your gaiter down bootpacking. If you don't use them you can just keep the zipper closed.

Freeride Fit Cuff
Cuff fits over most touring boots
Cuff fits over most touring boots

We built the cuff to fit over most touring boots and their walk mode levers (including the Zero G Tour Pro), but also added a zip to pass the walk mode lever through for boots with a protruding lever.

Materials
No sag 2-way stretch softshell
No sag 2-way stretch softshell

We chose a 2 way stretch softshell so it stretches horizontally in your stride, but doesn't stretch vertically so it has no sag with weight in your pockets.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

We research and develop for steep terrain. We believe that the best gear isn’t dependant on any one variable, like being the lightest, but a combination of style, weight, durability, and functionality to address a certain need.

Excellent freetouring bibs!

The first thing that struck me with the Tour Tech Bibs was how well the pants balance a minimalist aesthetic with actual usable features. Over the years, I’ve tended to prefer hardshell bibs for backcountry skiing unless it’s a warm spring day. I just feel more protected and comfortable with a bib, and have always preferred the slightly baggier fit most hardshell kits offer. Raide’s TourTech Bib offers the additional bib protection and the fit of freeride-oriented kits with the added comfort, flexibility, and breathability of softshell material. These will definitely be high on the list in my rotation for backcountry skiing outerwear this season.
