The Helly Hansen Alpha Men's Bib Pant is a lightly insulated, waterproof freeride bib built for hard resort days. A waterproof, breathable membrane shuts out deep snow while light insulation and a stretchy build keep you warm and moving. It is the do-anything bib for riders who charge inbounds and into the sidecountry.

Why we like it:

The 4-way stretch fabric is the standout; a waterproof bib that moves this freely makes high-output skiing far more comfortable. A RECCO reflector and bib coverage add real freeride function.

Features and Functions:

The Alpha Bib Pant uses HELLY TECH Performance waterproof, breathable protection over an 85 percent polyamide and 15 percent elastane stretch shell with a polyamide reinforcement and polyester-elastane lining. Light PrimaLoft insulation, 4-way stretch, and a RECCO reflector complete a freeride-ready bib.

Fit and Sizing:

A regular fit leaves room for a baselayer bottom and articulates for skiing. True to size, with 4-way stretch and a high bib back.

Bottom Line:

For hard resort and sidecountry skiing, the Alpha Bib Pant is best at warm, waterproof, full-coverage protection that moves. A do-it-all freeride bib for charging riders.
