"Dungarees would be something" - I've often thought that to myself. Nice and warm at the back, no annoying slipping or snow getting in and they look casual too. Unfortunately, there isn't enough choice from the various manufacturers of bibs, or they sell out quickly. But this winter I was lucky and was given the FLYLOW Foxy Bib to test.

The small Swiss company PENGUIN has been promoting ski and snowboard clothing with a focus on functionality and robustness for several years. The Swiss company's motto is: by freeriders for freeriders. For this reason, particular emphasis is placed on ensuring that the clothing can withstand the rigors of daily freeride adventures.

There is already a detailed product test for the pants on PowderGuide. In addition, after two years of continuous use, the pants have now made it to Gear of the Week.

Penguin is a Swiss brand that produces functional winter clothing in a simple design for all weather conditions. As they are freeriders themselves, their own experience on the mountain flows directly into the products. For me, the hardshell combo proved to be a reliable companion with small deductions. As I have been doing more than 30 off-piste and touring days per season for many years, the wear and tear on the material is correspondingly high. I'm 1.81 m and 84 kg and a firm believer in the onion principle. I tested the 3-layer Trizar Shell jacket & dungarees from Penguin for you.

With the Sunridge-GTX-Pro-3L Jacket and Bib Pants, Mammut offers a combo for the "freerider who doesn't want to compromise on the mountain". I tested for you whether the clothing delivers what it promises.

The Monkeywrench combo from Sweet Protectionist is made from the finest 3-layer Gore-Tex material. It is inspired by the outfits worn by deep-sea fishermen and hunters in Norway. Every detail has been thought through and the dungarees and jacket are equipped with ample pockets. The combo is cut rather wide, but doesn't look like a "bag" at all.

If you want to climb peaks with skins and make your own tracks in the snow away from the hustle and bustle of the slopes, you need to be well equipped. This time I tried the Sentinel Full Bib Pant and the Scimitar Jacket from the Whiteline series by Acteryx.

The trend in freeriding is towards dungarees. No more annoying getting snow out of your trousers and your kidneys are always nice and warm. And I have to admit that I'm right in line with the trend. My bib favorite: the Flylow Baker!

The Arc'teryx Sabre Full Bib is a lightly lined bib pant for all-round freeride use and has proven itself in the test.
