Work hard uphill. Sealed below.
Technical ski touring and winter alpine climbing demand lower-body protection that stays in place, moves freely, and does not create a cold gap at the waist during the most demanding body positions. The Rab Kinetic Alpine Stretch Bib delivers all of this in a women's-specific construction, built around 3-layer Pertex Shield with 4-way stretch for 30,000mm waterproof protection across the full range of dynamic movement. The fully articulated fit eliminates hip and knee restriction during hard skinning, technical climbing, and sustained vertical effort, and an integrated RECCO reflector adds passive rescue search capability in the event of a mountain emergency. AquaGuard 2-way side zips with internal storm guards and triple pullers handle fast on-and-off over boots, and two harness-compatible AquaGuard thigh pockets maintain accessible gear storage while wearing a climbing or touring harness. A front dump pocket with internal security zip pocket keeps on-route essentials organized and secure, and a reinforced inner leg kicker patch with elasticated internal snow gaiter protects against abrasion and seals the pant-to-boot interface against snow infiltration. For women who take their alpine objectives seriously and need lower-body protection that keeps pace across the full range of conditions and effort levels, this is the bib built for the task.
