Men's Carbide Bibs

The Carbide Bib is built to perform on both sides of the resort boundary. It is designed to adapt to whatever conditions and terrain are on the menu, whether layering up for a cold and deep day inbounds or staying fast and light on backcountry tours. They utilize 3-layer Pertex® waterproof protection, and their feature-forward and intuitive design details are geared for utility and versatility. Dual side zips make it easy to dump excess heat when sweating in the skin track, and an avalanche beacon-specific pocket keeps your most important safety gear within quick and easy access. These bibs are perfected with durable, stretchy suspender webbing that's as comfortable as it is functional. For those who prefer a single kit that punches above its weight for resort and backcountry functionality, the Carbide Bib is an elite option.

Pertex® Shield 3L Waterproof
A bluesign® approved 3-layer Pertex® Shield membrane with a 100% nylon 40D face and tricot knit backer delivers fully waterproof, windproof, and breathable protection with movement-mirroring stretch for long tours and storm-day chairlift rides.
Fully Seam-Taped
Every seam is factory-taped to seal out water at the stitching, giving you reliable wet-weather protection across the entire bib for storm days and prolonged exposure to alpine precipitation.
Dual Side Zips with Swing Hatch
Dual full-length side zips let you dump excess heat on the skin track, and the right side zip extends from the bib top all the way down to the knee for the swing-hatch feature—answering nature's call without baring it all in a frozen parking lot.
Avalanche Beacon Pocket with Clip
A dedicated beacon pocket with clip keeps your avalanche transceiver close to the body for safety, comfort, and quick access during companion rescue scenarios in the backcountry.
Adjustable Suspenders with Quick Release
Durable, stretchy suspender webbing dials in a customized fit across a range of torso lengths, and quick-release buckles make it easy to get in and out of the bibs without pulling the whole kit over your head.
Bib Top Stash Pocket
A zip stash pocket at the bib top secures a phone, snacks, lip balm, or a radio, and stays accessible at chest level under a backpack or harness.
Tall Reinforced Scuff Guard
A tall 100% nylon 420D Oxford scuff guard wraps the inner cuff and lower leg, resisting crampon points, ski edges, ice, and rocky boot rub for exceptional durability on the gnarliest descents and longest tours.
Stretch Mesh Internal Gaiter
A stretch mesh internal gaiter with a power strap slot seals out snow at the boot cuff, and the power strap slot keeps your boot power strap right where it belongs for a secure, responsive connection to the binding.

Cleaning
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild technical-gear or liquid detergent (e.g. Nikwax Tech Wash). Do not use bleach, fabric softener, or standard laundry soap, which can degrade the Pertex® Shield membrane and the DWR finish over time.
Drying
Tumble dry on low heat for 20–30 minutes to reactivate the DWR finish on the outer shell, or hang to air dry. Avoid high heat, which can damage the Pertex® membrane, the 420D Oxford scuff guard, and the suspender webbing.
Seam Tape Inspection
Periodically inspect the seam tape for lifting, peeling, or damage, especially after hard trips in abrasive terrain. A small tube of seam-seal repair adhesive can re-bond loose tape in the field and prevent slow leaks at the stitching.
Zipper Care
YKK zippers last longest with occasional cleaning. Brush out debris with a soft toothbrush and fresh water, and rub a beeswax candle or graphite pencil along the teeth if a zipper starts to stick. Do not force a stuck zipper—work it back and forth gently to avoid breaking the slider.
Scuff Guard Care
The 420D Oxford scuff guard is highly abrasion-resistant. Periodically inspect the inner cuff and lower leg for cuts, punctures, or delamination, especially after encounters with sharp crampons or ski edges. Small punctures can be repaired with a gear patch.
Storage
Allow the bibs to dry fully before storing. Hang over a wide hanger or fold loosely in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Store with the suspenders unbuckled to prevent stress on the elastic. Store away from rodents that may chew through the face fabric.
