Women's TourTech Bib
Women's TourTech Bib
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.

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.
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.
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.
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 allows you to easily go to the bathroom without taking your layers or suspenders off.
Vents on the outer legs, shifted slightly towards the back for high output tours.
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.
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.
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.
Customer Reviews
I have had major issues with all the bibs I’ve ever worn prior: they come up too high, the drop seat is hard to use, the straps hurt my shoulders when they interact with my pack, the material isn’t breathable, and they outright aren’t cute.
These are different. Thoughtfully designed to come up high enough that snow isn’t getting in, but low enough where you are still wearing pants not overalls. The hybrid material is lightweight, breathable, and functional for the amount of time I spend kneeling in the snow. The pockets are big, the drop seat is easy to use, the vents are in the perfect spot. The only thing I would change is the length, it’s not a deal breaker but I wear a M and the pants feel a tad shorter than I want them to be (but not short like they won’t keep the snow out)!
Overall, would recommend.
