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.
