The Obermeyer Perseus Bib wins for dark and cold days on the mountain. If you’re the skier who pushes to get out and hit the slopes even when the weather is less than ideal, this bib is for you. The 40g polyester fill from top to bottom keeps you warm when you need it, and well-placed ventilation allows the heat to escape when you don’t. If you run cold or ski in biting humid climates (like the East Coast), these bibs will introduce a new level of comfort.
