Design notes

A bib keeps snow out at the waist. On deep days this counts for more than the 30 g it adds over the Lyskamm Pants.

The face fabric is a ripstop: thicker yarns run through the weave at regular intervals and form a grid. If the fabric is punctured, the tear stops at the square instead of running.

On membranes this is not a given, most three-layer laminates use a plain weave. We wanted it because it holds up better to rock, crampons and hardware, because it protects the membrane while the garment spends most of a day folded in a pack, and because a small cut stays small.

The grid is visible on the fabric. That is a choice. The reinforcement is there to do work, and we see no reason to hide it.

Crampon guards in Challenge Sailcloth EPLX200: a 200D sailcloth with a 45° cross-ply and an RUV film, 146 g/m², C0 finish. The panel is shaped rather than a band around the hem, and covers the inside of the lower leg from mid-calf down: your own crampon points on the way up, ski edges on the way down. The maker rates it at 500 cycles on ASTM D3884 abrasion. We do not publish a waterproof rating for it: on our pages only the BARMA membrane carries waterproofness and breathability numbers.

The chest and side pockets hold volume and sit clear of a harness and of a hip belt.

Lyskamm Bib or Cogne Half Bib

: Lyskamm Bib / Cogne Half Bib
Technology: BARMA Storm / BARMA Flow
Weight M: 520 g / 690 g
RECCO: Yes / No
Price: €535 / €380

Same 20/30 rating. The Cogne Half Bib uses BARMA Flow on a 50D polyester ripstop and carries no RECCO, built for mountaineering and touring. It weighs 690 g against 520 g here, because of the full-length leg zip and the extra hardware.

Materials and care

Machine wash at 30 °C on a gentle cycle with a technical detergent. Do not use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low to reactivate the DWR.

Wash the bib when it gets dirty: dirt reduces breathability.

BARMA Storm

Membrane · BARMA platform

BARMA is our membrane selection and development platform. It is not a single membrane, nor a single number: it is the programme through which we select and develop the best membrane for the job, together with first-tier manufacturing partners, according to the qualities we want from the garment. All BARMA membranes are waterproof, breathable and made without intentionally added PFAS.

BARMA Storm: same waterproofness and breathability values as BARMA Flow, on a lighter 30D nylon ripstop with a tighter grid that holds its shape instead of draping. Built for freeride and deep snow.

On the Lyskamm Bib: BARMA Storm, 3-layer, ePE/PU, tricot backing, tighter ripstop grid. Face: 100% nylon, 30D x 30D + 30D ripstop, 110 g/m². Backing: tricot. 20,000 mm waterproofness, MVTR >29,000 g/m²/24h from in-house and mill tests, collection rating 20/30.
