Tour-ready and stormproof, the Cloudchaser 3L Bibs deliver breathable, stretch comfort all day
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I’ve used the Cloudchaser 3L Bibs on everything from stormy resort days to bluebird splitboard tours. The fabric breathes better than expected, and the swing hatch is a huge win for long days out. They’re durable, flexible, and totally waterproof—what else do you need?"
When we're pushing through storm cycles, breaking trail on dawn patrol, or skinning deep into the backcountry, we rely on the Outdoor Research Cloudchaser 3L Bibs to keep us dry, comfortable, and moving freely. Designed for versatile touring conditions, these bibs use midweight Pertex Shield 3L fabric with mechanical stretch that moves with us and shrugs off snow, wind, and moisture with ease.
The build is breathable, stormproof, and thoughtfully equipped. Stretch fabrics ensure durability where we need it, and smart features like articulated knees, reinforced scuff guards, and a swing hatch show this bib was made for long days in the skintrack. Pockets, thigh vents, and internal snow gaiters complete a setup that’s ready for every weather window and mission.

Softshell Feel, Hardshell Function
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Cloudchaser 3L bibs have a soft-shell feeling because they're so silky and smooth, but function as a hardshell with their waterproofness. In addition to spending many backcountry days in these bibs, I also spent 3 days and 2 nights straight in these while winter camping in Turnagain Pass, Alaska. -Left lateral thigh zipper vent -Right lateral zipper that goes to the torso -Front splits open from chest to front groin with two zippers, a top to bottom and bottom to top zipper -Bilateral thigh zippered pockets -Bilateral chest zippers pockets with one having an attachment for a beacon cord and a little pouch to stow the beacon -upper back is made of stretchy, more breathable material -Abrasion resistant inner ankle material -Stretchy bottom cuff that fits over a ski boot and has a power strap slot that appears to prevent the cuff/gaiter from riding up What would I change about the bibs? Maybe add some inner thigh vents for even more ventilation, but this material is pretty breathable, so it may not make a huge difference. I would also extend the stretchy material that's on the upper back down towards the waist more. Maybe a split at the posterior boot cuffs to allow for touring boot walk/ski mode switches to pop through instead. Outdoor Research gave me this free product to try.

Great breathable bib for high-output tours
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well designed bib with a stretchy fabric that moves well with ski touring. The vents are ample length to let out excess heat. I spent about 25 days touring in them both in the Rockies and back east in varied weather conditions. The water repellant was sufficient for even dense snowfall. The only reason I am not giving it 10/10 on recommendations is the buckles for the front bib straps tend to rotate awkwardly on occasion. Outdoor Research gave me this free product to try.
