I used to wear bibs (I admit). They are old Marmot version and I honestly could not imagine winter climbing without similar. I was fully intending to replace them with the pricey ARc'Teryx model when I could afford it. In the meantime, I picked up a pair of Patagonia Super Guide softshell pants. Now I don't want bibs anymore.

 

...And I know best...

 

If you are intent on bibs, but haven't tried softshell, you may want to reconsider.

I don't understand-

 

listen to the marketing better.

 

they aren't the same, but each works well 90% of the time. In my experience the 10% where softshell sucks (cold wet rain) is much nastier to deal with than the 10% where hardshell sucks (warm temps where you shouldn't be wearing pants anywhere).
