Backcountry Cardiac Xpore 3L Touring Convertible Bib - Men's

Why We Built The Backcountry Cardiac Xpore 3L Touring Convertible Bib

"I don't know how it does it, but this bib is so breathable and undeniably waterproof. Perfect for the backcountry." —Gearhead® Expert Alex

We give you both comfort and performance on the climb and the run with our Backcountry Cardiac Xpore 3L Touring Convertible Bib. Zippers on the inside and outside of the thighs let us get the crosswinds flowing when the skintrack steepens, while the articulated fit and inseam gusset let us kickturn and bootpack without stressing and blowing seams. On deep days, we zip on the bib to keep the fluff away from our baselayers, and we appreciate the three-layer, seam-sealed construction ensuring moisture stays on the outside. As we harvest our soft turns, we do so blissfully guilt-free, knowing we chose a hardworking bib pant built with recycled materials and an eco-friendly, PFAS-free* hydrophobic membrane.

About The Backcountry Brand

Backcountry began in 1996 with two skiers, a stack of avalanche beacons, and a garage in Park City, Utah. Our roots were humble, and we've grown since then, but our vision is still clear: to sell the best outdoor gear—and to create gear that’s even better through our very own gear and apparel brand.
