Women's TourTech Bib

Perfect

Good fit. I am 163 cm tall, 58 kg, medium regular is just right, slightly relaxed. Pocket zippers work perfectly, you can access your snacks using just one hand. The do not hold pouring rain for long, which was expected as they have a softshell part high. In strong wind, the softshell part is breathing very very well, making me choose a hardshell pant for very windy days or expeditions.

So dang close to perfect - 4.75 Stars

I wanted to really test these out prior to reviewing. These were great for powder skiing where it was absoluting dumping (did not let ANY snow in the bib) and dried out quickly when I got some snow between my pack and the bibs. The upper portion of the pants breathes really well to the point that on truly cold/windy days, my butt gets cold in them. These pants are very comfortable to tour in all day (hooray for straps that actually stay in place too!) but the fit throughout the leg is a bit baggy (for reference I'm 5'6" and about 120 lbs and bought a size XS regular). Even with the snaps secured, I feel like I am at risk of catching a crampon in the pant leg. The drop seat is great and I didn't have issues using it. I have a complaint regarding the interior small pocket inside of the larger leg one. I store my phone in the leg pocket so that its away from my beacon and that little pocket made getting my phone in and out of the pocket difficult as it would get in the way. The gaiter functions perfectly and the zips make it so you could secure boots without messing with the gaiter. I used the leg zips and found that even though they do not go all the way down the pant, they provide enough ventilation to cool off for high output/sun oven. Overall these pants are the most thoughtful touring pants I've ever tried where they have a lot of small details put into them that make them better than what's out there. The only time I wouldn't wear these would be on days where it's extremely cold and windy where I'd want my uniformly thick shell pants. I can't wait to continue using them for spring adventures! (Also, I love the color and overall look! Please make more gear that isn't just white or black!)

Perfection

The bin portion is breathable and easy to take a nature break in. Because of the many buttons on the cuffs I can even ice climb in these without worrying about catching the bottom with a crampon. The top fabric is very soft and breathable unsure how water proof they would be in a storm scenario but the bottom portion is very waterproof. They do run a little big but that means you have a lot of layering options. I’m 5’8” 125lbs athletic build and got the extra smalls.
