Description

Why We Like The Helly Hansen Powderqueen Bib Pant

When it comes to chasing the deepest, freshest powder, you need the best gear to keep you dry, mobile, and ready to perform. That's why we love the Helly Hansen Powderqueen Bib Pant. With its freeride features and advanced fabric technologies, this pant allows you to focus on your next epic descent.

This year's model of the Powderqueen comes with a dedicated pocket for your beacon, conveniently located on the right thigh. It also features reinforced inner hems to prevent snagging and abrasion from boot buckles and ski edges, ensuring that these pants will remain in top shape for many seasons to come.

With Helly Tech Performance and fully sealed seams, these bib pants keep you dry even in deep powder. The four-way stretch material and articulated construction of the seat and knees provide excellent mobility for both uphill climbs and downhill runs.

Designed with comfort in mind, the two-ply construction of these bib pants offers extra warmth during dawn patrols. The brushed fleece lining at the seat adds a touch of cushion and warmth, perfect for those chilly chairlift rides.

For temperature regulation during intense runs, the side ventilation zippers allow you to release excess heat. Plus, the two-way barn door zipper on the backside makes it convenient for any necessary bathroom breaks, so you can get back to shredding without any hassle.

  • Bib pants designed for comfort on backcountry tours and powder laps
