The 10 Best Women's Ski Bibs of 2024
By: Sarah Ziffer: Women's & Kid's Techwear Buyer | October 28, 2023
There are two types of skiers in this world: those who have tried ski bibs and will never wear regular ski pants again, and those who haven’t given them a shot yet. No matter which group you fall into, the women's ski bibs on this list will keep you warm, dry, and comfortable through every day you spend on skis this winter. The advantages of the best women’s ski bibs are obvious, they eliminate the coat hem/pant waistband gap that so often allows snow to get into your base layers and ruin your day. And they provide additional storage options, as well as distributing the fit of your pants so that there’s no uncomfortable pinching at your waist, or dealing with sagging pants.
New This Year:
In the realm of women's ski bibs, while this season hasn't ushered in groundbreaking changes, the continued preference for bibs over traditional pants is evident. Many skiers are sticking to the tried-and-true designs that have served them well in past seasons. If you're shopping for a new pair of ski bibs, it's essential to find a blend that offers comfort, functionality, and style, ensuring you can hit the slopes with confidence and flair. As always, the focus remains on providing optimal warmth and mobility for those chilly mountain adventures.

If you haven't added them to your cart already based on the steezy colors alone, the 20k/20k waterproof-breathable membrane and hassle-free bathroom system add up to the most popular bibs in the biz.

Sarah Ziffer
Growing up in Florida, I missed out on the chance to get involved in snow sports. Tired of the heat, and seeking out the mountains, I moved to Seattle to start a new adventure. A few years after moving to WA I fulfilled my dream of learning to snowboard and immediately fell in love with it. After just one time out on a friend’s board I was hooked. I outfitted myself from head to toe with gear from evo, and got a season pass at Snoqualmie.
I quickly realized that snowboarding inspired me to live a lifestyle centered around the outdoors. I left my job at a fashion company to come and work for evo and become immersed in the culture and experiences that make the snowboarding community so vibrant. I have been at evo since 2017, am currently the women's and kids' techwear buyer, and enjoy learning and experiencing everything this incredible community has to offer.
