LF Hybrid Bib fit

Tom is 5' 11" and wears a size M. The LF Hybrid Bib sits between a freeride and techincal fit, for a relaxed stance and adjustable hem around your boot.

Hybrid Materials

Body-mapped breathability and weather protection where you need it. The TourTech bib is 69% softshell and 31% hardshell. Hardshell on the lower leg gives you protection for trail breaking, kneeling, and bootpacking while not sacrificing breathability due to the ample 12 CFM softshell.

Gaiter and Kevlar Kick Patch

An integrated gaiter with a booster strap pass-through seals out snow, while a Kevlar kick patch wraps the entire hem for durability against edges and crampons; three snaps let you tighten the hem further when crampons are on.

Beacon Pockets

Secure storage built in. Internal elastic beacon sleeves and clip attachment webbing in both thigh pockets keep your beacon secure and accessible.

Drop Seat

Nature calls, gear stays on. A drop seat from the wearer's left side lets you answer the call of nature without removing your harness, skis, or pack.

Laser Cut Ventilation

Breathable where it matters. The bib is laser cut with extra ventilation in the lumbar, plus thigh vents on the outside of both legs, so you can dump heat on the skin up without stripping layers in bad weather.

Integrated Belt and Suspenders

A fit that stays put. An integrated belt with a metal G-hook closure pairs with silicone-backed, no-slip suspenders, so the bib stays exactly where you put it through a full day of movement.

Thigh Vents

Gaiter and Kick Patch

Protection at the hem. An integrated gaiter with a booster strap pass-through seals out snow, while a Kevlar kick patch wraps the entire hem for durability against edges and crampons; three snaps let you tighten the hem further when crampons are on.

Nailed it

This new version for '25/'26 is probably the best bibs I've ever used. Roomier in the seat/waist. At 5'10 180# I got the M tall and they have a freeride fit and are long to avoid pulling up the boot cuff on steep kickturns. Probably could have gotten away with a regular length too. I have tried numerous pants/bibs from Rab Arcteryx, and Trew all of which I like a lot in various scenarios but I think these take the cake. These have a great fit, well thought out features and the fabric combo is more versatile than any other touring pants I own. The feel of the fabric on bare skin is such that I can wear these without a baselayer and the softshell portion is thinner than my Rab softshell pants. We'll see how the durability but they seem excellent after two tours in challenging wet conditions.

Updated and better in every way!

I had previously purchased last year's version of these bibs and returned them as the fit was a little off through the waist and I found them difficult to get in and out of with no full length front zipper. It is very obvious with this year's version that all of the feedback on the prior version was taken into consideration, fit in the legs and waist is much improved, the stretchy bib upper makes them more comfortable to wear and the full length front zipper makes getting in and out of the bibs much easier. I have taken them now on three full day tours in deep snow in the Pacific Northwest and can confidently say that except for the days when it is actually raining, these have all the weatherproofing you need and will be my bibs for all conditions throughout the whole year (except for rain!). Can't wait to get many more days out of them!

Almost perfect touring bib

I've put quite some tours in those during the season, and I'm loving those!
The front waterproof fabric is great for lengthier bootpacks where knees need to be engaged to break trail.
It's super easy to get on and extremely easy to use in bathroom situations with the side zip, love that feature.
The upper part is breathable and has been awesome in spring conditions here in the Alps. The pockets are large and made with stretchy material, which I love a lot, fit my beeper, snacks, face mask, and sunscreen.
The only complaint I have about the bib is the size of the front zipper (fly) - it feels somewhat small, and it's generally quite fiddly for quick access. Also, the belt can be uncomfortable when having a backpack with the waist belt fully tightened. None of those are dealbreakers but I'd love to see those addressed in future iterations.

Very nice bib!

I wear a 33/44 pant and am 6' tall, the large/short works great for me. First trip out to Muir was sunny but with 30+ mph gusts higher up. Side zips worked great lower down and when zipped up the bibs stopped the wind very well. The fabric is soft and comfortable but effective and not too warm like my last bibs. These would be great on a multi day tour. Very happy so far.

The magic ski touring pants

I love the dual-fabric design—breathable soft-shell on top and more waterproof material below the knee. That’s the magic of these pants! I’ve used them for touring in both cold and warm weather. The fit is wide enough to wear a base layer underneath, but the inner fabric is also comfortable enough to wear without one.

The pockets are spacious and easy to access, even while wearing a harness. However, the internal loop could be easier to reach and clip onto—it’s a bit of a hassle. The front zipper is designed upside down, which is a clever idea, but it’s a little too short or doesn’t open wide enough for easy use.

With a more accessible pocket loop and an improved front zipper, these would be a solid 5-star product. Also, I really appreciated the helpful chat support for sizing—it made all the difference in getting the right fit!

So freaking good, especially the fit!

I usually struggle to fit into normal hybrid skimo pants (6'2, 225, fairly muscular legs), but the XL/Tall is just so nice. Not so baggy that it's slides weirdly while taking big strides or saggy with crampons, but also more of a freeride look than a skimo look. Not sure how Kyle managed to do that.

Thigh pockets are at the right places, ventilation zipper is easy to open & close.
The feature where you can out the walk mode lever through the pants is cool, but I probably won't need it.

Definitely improved breathability over a normal high bib gore-tex pant, but that's not surprising.

Men's TourTech Bib

Perfect ski touring pant/bib!

These are the best touring pant/bib available. Incredibly comfortable and breathable in the right places, with protection where it is needed. Very feature rich as well. Having quick boot access for ski/walk mode while still maintaining weather protection is great. I especially love the sizing options with short, regular and tall for each. The medium-short is spot on for me at 5’6” & 160lbs with an athletic build.

The perfect ski bib

These fit perfectly and offer a great blend of fabrics where it matters the most. I run hot when touring and these are exactly what I needed. Thanks for making a stellar product that matches its purpose.

Favourite touring pants ever?

I've been through a ton of touring pants in my 30 years of skinning. Too warm, too cold, too stiff, wrong pockets, bad fly...the list goes on. But I have to say, even though no pant is perfect, this one comes really close! I've used them in a variety of conditions and have been very happy with them. I don't love a pure gore tex pant for touring, so having hte flex and breathability with great pockets and vents PLUS a size TALL means I am a happy ski tourer. Try them for yourself!

Patrol thinks it’s rad!

Stevens Pass Ski Patrol would die for these bibs. Enough said.

Two Tours

The bibs are great. Dump heat well, move with the body well. Durable, taking hits from bushes and falls onto icy snow. Big pockets that hold just about everything. It can get cold if you don’t layer correctly, especially if you are a sweatier individual. Sitting on snow also gets cold quick. I have a small pad of an insulated sleeping pad that works great if you are expecting long sits.

Not a better bib for touring

I am going uphill 40+ days per winter and there is not a better bib for touring. It's breathable but warm. Pockets are super functional. Leg openings are wide enough to get over touring boots with no issue. 10/10. Raide is the best.

Good not great

I really like the fit of these bibs and the overall functionality but there are a few things that miss the mark for me. Would love to see the butt of the pant be hardshell also. The beacon holster is useless, it needs to be slightly larger and more rigid see the design of the holster in the BD recon pant for example. I have about two weeks in mine and they are showing some signs of wear so curious how they will hold up long term.

Great functional bib

Love the fit and breath ability of the bib. Everything is exactly where you want it to be just like all other raide produ

Incredible performance

These bibs are incredible. Super light weight but sturdy where it is needed. Great breath ability in the softshell but throw a thick layer on they work in very low temps and even the resort. Might need another pair just for style points.

banger

absolutely love it

Awesome pants

I’ve been wearing these pants all winter. They have worked well for lots of touring days. The fabric is a great choice.

The BEST touring bibs!!

These are, without question, the best touring bibs on the market. Every detail feels intentional, with a clear focus on maximizing efficiency and comfort during long days in the backcountry. The design choices are thoughtful and purposeful, from fit to construction, eliminating friction points and unnecessary bulk. The fabric is exceptional—it moves effortlessly with you whether you’re skinning uphill or skiing down, never feeling restrictive or heavy. They strike that rare balance of durability, breathability, and mobility, making them a standout piece of touring gear that truly enhances performance rather than getting in the way. Can’t wait to see what they bring to market next! Keep
Crushing it Raide!!

Fits big guys extremely well

At 6', 200 pounds it's hard to find pants that fit well for hiking. I'm wearing the XL tall size and they are the most comfortable pants I've ever had for walking in. The soft shell upper half moves naturally. Also the pocket placement is well above my knees.

Maybe I needed softshells the whole time?

Review for the 25/26 pants - Sounds like all the fit issues have been corrected since the 24/25 release. I was debating between a Medium and Large (mainly due to how the 2 LF Belt fits), I went with the Medium, based on the measurements matching my previous BD Recon Stretch pants, after some adjustments of the bib straps, got the fit dialed. Love the pocket placement, one thing I miss from my BD pants is the extra padding on the beacon pocket to both protect the beacon as well as keep a phone warmer.

As the title says, the softshells are nice, and a surprisingly welcomed change from my previous hardshells. As a snowboarder, the cuffs are awesome, and easily go over my boots. Would definitely recommend!

Men's TourTech Bib

Best Touring Pants Ever

An unbelievable amount of thought and intention went into this season's TourTech pants. From the fit, to quality of materials, to the split of hard shell to soft shell - they are incredible. As a year-round avalanche professional and forecaster, these pants have provided enough pocket space and customization to fit all my needed snow study items, transceiver and alike. Furthermore, the breathable bibs are unmatched when it comes to cold slogs and warm spring-like days. I cannot say enough good things about these pants. If I were to get picky, I would imagine adding a "double knees", or beefed up knee protectors would be incredible for when working in snow. Also, perhaps making the backside of the pants hardshell would alleviate any concerns about sitting or kneeling in the snow. Otherwise, an exceptional pair of touring pants, and well worth every dime spent. Kyle and his team continue to be the most innovative brand in the industry!

Men's TourTech Bib

Bibs fit great. They loose enough for some steeze while not being too baggy that it limits comfort in skinning. I like the number of pockets and the phone inner pocket within the big is very nice. The bib feature works well and I no longer have my backpack belt rub the snap apart as with other pants. Vents are more than adequate.
