The Arc’teryx Stinger Bib Pant for men is built for the backcountry, and it performs like it, as the durable but breathable Gore-Tex Pro fabric keeps all moisture out and stands up well to abrasions, and the side zippers increase ventilation. The pockets are big enough for a beacon, snacks, and ski straps, and the drop seat makes pooping in the woods a breeze. This bib pant has great mobility for all kinds of outdoor pursuits and room for layering, but it is recommended to try them on before buying to make sure the legs and bib fit well.

The Arc’teryx Squamish Hooded Jacket for men is a durable windbreaker with a great fit. It is best used in warmer and dry conditions since it has little to no protection against rain and snow.
