<p>Serious bibs for serious ski tours. The APEX Salopettes take inspiration from our 1992 MEC Pinnacle Salopettes, with a modern fit and technology that combines protection and breathability. The Toray membrane in the chest is almost 50% more breathable than standard 3-layer laminates, so you won't overheat on the uptrack but you're covered if you tumble. The bottom is windproof, waterproof Pertex Shield. Two-way waterproof zippers run from the bib to below the knee, allowing ventilation and a quick exit when nature calls.</p><ul><li>Bottoms are windproof, waterproof 3-layer Pertex® Shield</li><li>Bibs are Toray® electrospun membrane for 10,000mm waterproof protection and incredible breathability</li><li>Fully seam-taped construction keeps you dry in howling conditions</li><li>Gusseted crotch, articulated knees and patterning ensure unrestricted movement</li><li>Bib-to-knee 2-way zippers release heat and ease entry</li><li>YKK® AquaGuard® Vislon zippers throughout</li><li>Right chest pocket has transceiver holder</li><li>Schoeller® Keprotec™ instep patches protect against damage from boots, crampons and ski edges</li><li>Pertex® ripstop gaiters keep out snow</li><li>Built-in Recco® Rescue System reflector allows ski patrol and mountain rescue teams to detect and locate it under snow</li><li>Internal label shares the story and history behind the bibs</li><li>Pairs perfectly with the APEX Icefield Jacket for a backcountry-ready system</li></ul>

The standard test for waterproof fabrics uses a standing column filled with water.  The figures given are the water column height.  A rating of 3,500mm or higher can be considered waterproof.  The higher the rating, the more durable the waterproof fabric will be over time.

Waterproof garments use waterproof-breathable technologies and are fully seam-taped. Water-resistant garments use waterproof-breathable technologies but their seams are not taped. Water-resistant garments repel water and protect against wind but are not made of waterproof fabric.

A windproof garment does not allow any air to permeate the fabric.  A garment with windproof panels has panels of fabric that are totally windproof, but the rest of the garment may not be windproof.  A wind-resistant garment resists some wind, but not as much as a garment that is windproof.

The rate at which a waterproof breathable fabric expels moisture when the inner surface is moist from perspiration.  Values under 8,000g/m2/24h provide low performance, 20,000g/m2/24h provide moderate performance and values over 30,000g/m2/24h provide high performance.

The finished inseam measurement of the garment. 

Usually referred to as DWR. A treatment made to fabrics that causes water to bead and run off instead of soaking through.
