We’re always humbled when people choose our gear. The Baker Bib has been a crowd favorite for years now (read the story behind the Baker Bib if you want the full history…) and it’s still earning praise. The Gear Junkie just awarded the Baker Bib the best overall men’s ski bibs of the year. It got a 9.3 rating out of 10. Awww, thanks!
“When the snow gets deep and the wind starts whipping, these hardy 20K/20K bibs are the perfect go-to. Now, these bibs are free of PFCs, or perfluorocarbons, in the chemicals used in durable water repellent (DWR),” the review reads.
Pros of the Baker Bibs, according to Gear Junkie
- Heavy duty; ideal for bad weather
- Durable
- Ample chest pocket storage
Thigh vents, drop seat opening, plenty of pockets: What's not to love about the Baker Bib?
“Like other 3-layer shell bibs, the Baker has no insulation. Still, the dense, sturdy outer fabric and fully sealed seams provide exceptional weather protection. Combined with a warm pair of base layer bottoms, these bibs can go anywhere. Burly 1,000-denier reinforced cuffs and knees let you handle whatever adventure the mountain delivers.”
Gear Junkie said getting in and out of the Baker Bib is easy, with a lengthy side zipper that doubles as a drop seat or entry access. They also like that the bibs come in a range of sizes and lengths, including short, regular, and tall.
“A large zippered kangaroo chest pocket and second snap-button pocket, plus hand, butt, and thigh pockets, really round out the options for carrying the goods,” it continues.
