The North Face

Freedom Bib Pant - Men's

DryVent is a proprietary technology from The North Face that features a waterproof and breathable membrane. It keeps water out while allowing moisture, like sweat, to escape. This is crucial for staying dry and comfortable during outdoor activities such as skiing or snowboarding, ensuring you can enjoy your adventure without feeling weighed down by moisture.

The Chimney Venting System is designed to enhance airflow and temperature regulation in outdoor gear. It creates a "chimney" effect, allowing warm air to rise and escape through vents. This feature is important for keeping you cool and comfortable during intense physical activities, preventing overheating and ensuring optimal performance.

A DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. While it doesn't make the fabric completely waterproof, it helps water bead up and roll off the surface, keeping the material drier for longer. This is especially beneficial in wet conditions, allowing you to stay comfortable and focused on your activities.

Gaiters are protective coverings worn over the tops of boots and lower legs. They help keep snow, water, and debris out, ensuring that you stay warm and dry during your outdoor adventures. Gaiters with gripper elastic create a snug fit around your boots, preventing snow from entering and enhancing your overall comfort.

Kickpatches are reinforced areas located on the lower part of pants, made from tougher materials to withstand wear and tear. They protect against abrasion from ski edges, boots, and other equipment, significantly extending the life of your garment. This means you can enjoy your outdoor activities without worrying about damaging your gear.

Features like DryVent technology, the Chimney Venting System, DWR finish, gaiters, and kickpatches work together to enhance your performance in outdoor sports. They provide protection from the elements, regulate temperature, and ensure durability, allowing you to focus on your activity without distractions. Investing in gear with these features means you can enjoy your time outdoors with confidence and comfort.
