The LW Bib

Rated 4.0 out of 5

Glacier Bibs, the TREW Ex Div way.

This is a bib for long days up high. We believe that softshell pants are best-suited for Aspen’s apres scene (blame our stubborn CEO); hardshells are lighter, more windproof, and more waterproof. To pull off the perfect combination of lightweight minimalism and rugged durability, we used two new hardshell fabrications: the 3L7D ultralight, waterproof shell and Vectran(R) reinforced instep protection. 

Featuring an adjustable cuff with Fidlock magnetic closures, the LW Bib can be tightened around your boots while you’re climbing and then relaxed for a more comfortable downhill fit. The storage options are minimalist: the bib upper features two options for your transceiver and the hand pockets are positioned to fit with a harness. Outseam vents are positioned to allow for maximum airflow and the ability to delayer while still wearing your boots.

Short inseam: 30", Regular inseam: 32.5", Tall inseam: 35"

    Waterproof

    The LW 3L fabric has a 20,000mm rated membrane, and will keep you dry in nearly every kind of weather you might encounter.

    The Fit

    Designed with the minimalist in mind, this bib offers our slimmest fit.

    Breathability

    Our lightest and most breathable bib, the LW Bib is built specifically to keep that air flow game strong while moving fast up and down mountains.

    Durability

    With high breathability comes a loss in durability, so take a bit more care around trees + edges with this LW 3L kit.

    Updated

    Trew send me a new pair to address the issue of the fabric on the other one.

    The new pair held well on a Denali trip, only one knee hole got done while performing a rescue on the 16 ridge.

    Still satisfied with the lightweight fabric and excited for improvements to come later.

    Awesome SkiMo Pants

    Some of the best pants/bibs out there for Ski / Split Mountaineering. Very well tapered cuffs make cramponing easy without the threat of catching baggy pants. They also have adjustable cuffs to tighten down even more. Pockets designed to work with a harness on! And really light weight material that is breathable and waterproof. Plus full zips for full ventilation or layer changes.

    True Experimental

    At first, I was impressed with the weight, it's really lightweight and I was worried about durability. Once I put it on It felt a little awkward. The fit on the upper part felt slightly loose, in comparison to the Capow fit.

    Also, it saves weight by not having belt buckles, so you depend 100% on the suspenders, wich sometimes go to the side of my shoulders, as they don't cross from behind the back.

    Going down on the features, I figured this would be solved by wearing a harness, as they are designed for that.

    After a trip to a big glaciated terrain (AK), and wearing glacier harnesses every day, I noticed another missing feature; the leg zippers. I wish this bib had the same inside zippers as the Capow. For more ventilation. Also, the left side zipper, which opens from the top so you can go to the bathroom, it's not that easy to open downwards to ventilate that leg if you are already rigged with a harness and backpack and traveling on a rope. Maybe add a 3rd zipper as some tents do? so you can reposition where you open it?

    Last, the magnet closure at the leg seems like a good idea and when is works is nice, but if snow fills any of these little holes, then these open up. One needs to be careful using these with crampons.

    After a month of testing them I noted the fabric in the inside leg changing the fabric a little bit, right where the leg loops of the glacier harness seat. I'm already sending an email to Trew to check this up. Hopefully this gets addressed and I hope I…
