Good gear goes a long way. This is exactly why you'll love the men's Skytour waterproof ski bibs. Whether you're heading out for a hut-to-hut ski tour or backcountry splitboarding on a Saturday, these expert-designed, waterproof ski pants will be your new favorite partner in crime. If you're heading up a super steep slope, these bibs' smart gusseting and movement-mirroring stretch will let you bootpack without being hampered by stiff material. As you go from laying trenches to skinning, you'll stay at the perfect temperature thanks to these winter bibs' masterful blend of wind-resistance and breathability. If you get too hot, it's easy to pop off a layer thanks to these bottoms' adjustable suspenders. And if nature is calling? No problem. Just use the athlete-favorited swing hatch to answer without baring it all to elements or neighbors. Clip your avalanche beacon into the left zippered bib pocket, slide emergency hand warmers into one of the cargo pockets, and top off with the Skytour AsentShell Jacket. Then, set out to shred the gnar without a worry in the world.
Since 2016, Outdoor Research's proprietary AscentShell technology uses an electrospun process to create a 3L construction that breathes faster, weighs less, stretches more, and far surpasses the comfort of traditional waterproof membranes.

At Outdoor Research, we built a company from a feeling: the urge to get out. It's what drives us. We love coming to work every day and inventing ever better solutions to what nature throws our way. But we're more than just the gear we build. We're part of a community of friends whose lives are connected by our common need to be outside. Our tribe is devoted to exploring our outdoor passions and challenging ourselves in the mountains, water and deserts of the planet we love so much.
In 1981, a brilliant scientist and adventurer named Ron Gregg watched his frostbitten partner get airlifted off a glacier on Denali. He'd spent months planning a new route in the purest style, skiing 100 miles from the road to the base of the climb. Barely halfway to the summit, their trip ended with the failure of a simple pair of gaiters. Stubborn to the end, Ron refused a seat on the helicopter and descended alone for two weeks, pondering what had happened. Somewhere along the way he realized he could both fix the gear problem and devote his life to pursuing his passion for adventure. By the end, he knew one thing for sure: He wasn't going back to his old job.
Ron Gregg built Outdoor Research on the idea that life is an adventure, and the best gear makes it more fun. Though he died tragically in an avalanche more than a decade ago, his legacy remains at our core. In our world, it's not about chasing heroes; It's about being on the journey. It's not how often we get out as much as how often we want to be out that makes us who we are. Our goal is to do all we can to expand the tribe of people who share our belief that progress is spiritual and life is unimaginable without the quest.
And we want you in it, because we're pretty sure that the bigger our tribe gets, the better off the world will be.
