Alps & Meters Ascent Men's Bib
Perhaps one of the most important functional advancements of early 1900’s was the transformation of woolen waisted suit trousers and knickers, formerly standard wear of alpinists of the 1800’s, into a bibbed “lederhosen" which eventually traded buttons for zip fastenings. Alps & Meters Ascent Bib revisits the creative leap associated with the first top-to-bottom trousers adopted by Gentlemen Alpinists of the Golden Age and beyond. Crafted with Swiss engineered Schoeller waterproof blend of natural fibers and high waisted suspender construction, this first class outerwear garment is equipped with comprehensive protection and temperature regulating features enabling daily or extended ski and mountaineering adventures.
Why we like it:

This unique high performance bib combines traditional fibers with contemporary technologies to deliver a Forged Performance garment of exceptional quality and robust protective characteristics. Employing Swiss engineered waterproof face fabric from the storied Schoeller mill of Switzerland along with additional natural accents enhancing comfort and articulation, the Ascent Bib is an precise performance pant which evokes the personality of the Gentleman Mountaineers of the early late 19th century whose first forays in the Alps unlocked journey’s of personal discovery which are still unfolding today.
