The first bib on our list had to be from Patagonia. After all, their quality-price ratio is unbeatable. Frankly, it’s not only the kids who feel the most comfortable in bib type of clothing – adults can benefit from it too. Especially when it comes to retaining the heat of your body for as long as possible while remaining dry. The Snowdrifter does just that – its 3-layered fabric has a DWR coating for waterproofness and its construction includes a stretchy softshell material that covers your upper body. This is carefully incorporated into the bib without restricting any of your movements but rather facilitating them. The two back zippers act as ventilation points that increase the breathability, while the built-in gaiters, as we already know, keep the snow at bay. You can chill with your family at your parents’ house in the woods during the winter or attempt at freestyle skiing – the choice is yours. Be certain, however, that the Snowdrifter will be your best companion in these times.
