2025 Volcom Roan Bib Overall - Chestnut Brown
The Roan Bib is the real hookup when it comes to coverage. 15Ks of breathable waterproofing comes in a 2-Layer V-science shell made with REPREVE® recycled fibers and non-fluorinated DWR for less of an impact on the environment and a big impact on the elements. A relaxed cut, adjustable elastic suspenders, and neoprene jersey at side waists let you get fit and layering dialled in, while the overall style, fully-taped seams and Zip Tech ® jacket-to-trousers interface give you the top-to-toe coverage of a onesie with the mobility of trousers.
What are the benefits of a snowboard Bib Overall compared to snowboard pants?
A snowboard bib overall offers several advantages over traditional snowboard pants making it a preferred option for many snowboarders depending on the conditions and personal preferences. Here are some key benefits:
1. Better Snow Protection
- Bibs cover a larger portion of your body, extending up to your chest, which prevents snow from getting into your pants, especially when you fall or ride in deep powder. The extra coverage around the torso and back ensures no snow sneaks into the waistline, a common issue with regular pants.
- Pants, on the other hand, only offer coverage up to the waist, making it easier for snow to get in if you wipe out or are riding in deeper snow.
2. Warmer Insulation
- Since bibs cover more of your torso, they tend to offer more warmth, especially around your core. This added insulation can be helpful in very cold weather conditions.
- Pants rely more on layering or separate jackets to keep the core warm, but they might not protect the lower back or stomach as well in cold or windy conditions.
3. No Need for a Belt
- Bibs use shoulder straps to hold them up, eliminating the need for a belt or the constant adjustment of your waistband, which can shift during riding. The straps keep everything securely in place without constricting the waist.
- Pants require either a belt or a well-fitting waistband, which can sometimes cause discomfort or restrict movement, especially if it’s too tight.
4. Freedom of Movement
- Because bibs are secured with straps over the shoulders, they allow for more flexibility in the waist area, reducing the likelihood of your pants falling down or needing adjustment. This can give a more comfortable range of motion, particularly for movements like bending or squatting.
- Some pants can feel more restrictive at the waist, depending on how they’re fitted.
5. More Storage Options
- Many bibs come with extra chest pockets, providing additional storage for small items like snacks, passes, or phones, making them more convenient without having to reach into jacket or pant pockets.
- Pants typically have fewer storage options and rely on jacket pockets for holding items.
6. More Secure Fit in Wet Conditions
- With bibs, even if your outer layers get wet, the added height of the bib prevents moisture from seeping into your base layers around the waist. In wet or slushy conditions, this can make a significant difference in comfort.
- Pants are more vulnerable to moisture entering through the waistline, especially if not paired with a well-fitted jacket.
7. Versatile Layering
- With bibs, you can choose to wear a lighter jacket or mid-layer without worrying about snow getting in when riding in variable conditions. This versatility allows you to regulate body temperature more effectively.
- With pants, you may need to ensure your jacket and pants overlap properly to maintain warmth and prevent snow from getting in.
Downsides of Bibs:
- Hotter in Warm Weather: In milder conditions, bibs may feel too warm because of the extra coverage around the torso.
- More Inconvenient for Bathroom Breaks: Taking off a bib is more cumbersome compared to pants when you need to use the restroom, as you'll have to deal with the shoulder straps.
In conclusion, snowboard bibs offer better snow protection, warmth, and storage options, making them ideal for deep snow or cold conditions. Pants, on the other hand, are often preferred in milder weather and for their simplicity.
