The Y-5 3L Hybrid Shell Bib Pants are built for long days in the mountains when weather protection, warmth, and freedom of movement all matter. A waterproof, breathable 3-layer ALP-3 shell is paired with light synthetic insulation, giving you more warmth than a traditional shell without turning the bib into a heavy insulated pant.
The tall bib adds protection when the snow gets deep, while adjustable suspenders let you dial in the fit. Side vents give you a quick way to dump heat on bootpacks, tours, or warmer laps, and integrated snow gaiters help keep powder where it belongs.
Cordura reinforcement at high-wear areas adds durability around ski edges and boots, making the Y-5 a strong option for skiers who spend their days moving between lifts, deeper snow, and more demanding terrain. Technical where it needs to be, without loading the pant up with features you don’t need.
