Women's Ravine Plus 3L Bib Pants 26/27

The Ravine Plus 3L Bib Pants are Ortovox's loose, weatherproof freeride bibs, built for hip-high powder days. Breathable Ravine 3L fabric, with a partly recycled polyamide face and PU membrane, is rated to a minimum 20,000 mm water column and up to 25,000 g/m²/24h breathability. The women's version weighs 681 g.

Ravine 3L Merino inserts with a wool-blend backer sit over the seat, where you feel the cold most, and a Merino Shield Tec Soft panel in the back adds stretch and scuff resistance. The trade-off is that these are a full freeride bib, not a stripped-down touring pant, so fast-and-light skiers may find them more than they need.

Ortovox gives them top marks for freeride. They are for skiers who want warmth and full snow protection on storm days, lift-served or in the backcountry. Integrated gaiters with non-slip elastic and Dyneema-Cordura edge guards keep snow and edges where they belong.

Loose fit with integrated, adjustable suspenders, anatomically shaped knees and a long two-way side vent zip. There is a chest pocket plus two thigh pockets, the right one pleated with a mesh inner and a light carabiner for a transceiver.

These are our go-to bibs for deep, cold powder days, cozy, dry and ready for every face shot you can find.
