Ski pants or Bib overalls??? Or a one piece??

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Do you prefer ski pants or Bib overalls with the suspender things when you ski/ride? I prefer ski pants..actually baggy snowboard pants are the most comfortable and usually have alot of pockets. On days when I'm not wearing a jacket..big pants on the front of ski pants are essential with zippers to keep my wallet, keys, steeze, and cheeze...Any of you guys still wear a one piece suit???

I always rock the romper suit! :lol:

Seriously, ski pants here. TNF Freedoms over fleece pants.

I like ski pants with suspenders so that I don't moon everyone.

Ski pants with suspenders, but I'm eyeing some bibs for the next season.

I wear a belt with my ski pants so I don't show any crack..

Ski pants with zippers on the outsides of each leg. Always over sweatpants.

Sweatpants???? Underarmour all the way on cold days for me. Sweatpants were from when I was a gaper..lol

When I bought my latest pair towards the end of this past season I considered bibs, but I couldn't justify the added cost just to get a bib. I got a nice pair with removable suspenders instead...

 

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

What is the benefit of a Bib? Is it an old school thing like short shorts???

 

[Marc]

Keeps your core slightly warmer, more pockets, but I suspect they were more popular when powder skirts weren't in widespread use.

I have a set of pants with nice wide suspenders. I find I like the elasticity of the suspenders putting a small load on my shoulders rather than a belt which feels constrictive to me while skiing, but it's just a lot of personal preference.

I'm with GSS on this one...snowboard pants ... I like my stuff with a little bit of room to move around and the extra pockets for days I go out without the pack on. I did buy a pair of marker pants last season but I only wore 'em once cuz I felt like I was gonna blow the ass out of 'em.

I saw a guy at Belleayre a couple of times last season with a dayglo orange romper suit on, he obviously was looking for attention or trying to be funny because he was loud and showoffy too. It was amusing.

That said I wear ski pants.

Pants - Yes (no suspenders they just fit and jacket is long enough to avoid snow-crack)
Bibs - As a wee lad
One Piece - Never.

You can't really see it here but he's wearing a 'Borat' type suit.

Ahhhh, the Tux insanity...

 

[Kerovick]

Snowboard pants with a belt, I like the pockets too.

 

[JimG.]

Bib...don't like the feeling of a belt around my waist when I ski.
