This is much like a traditional 3L membrane construction, but a microporous layer is added that reduces breathability by “filling in” holes where moisture escapes, preventing water from coming in through those same holes. They also have several 4L fabrics, which add a fourth layer of fleece on the backside for warmth, and would also prevent water from reaching your rear :) I have heard from several people that the most waterproof pants they have worn were insulated pants. I met a brilliant polymer engineer at the Spunfab booth. He was so gracious with his knowledge. He validated the detriment of DWR to bonding and cautioned against PVC due to its response to folding, as we have seen. We are sad we did not meet this guy a year or two ago. He encouraged me to find multi-film materials, and use a vapor barrier. This is essentially what the drysuit material is that I discussed above. 5L fabrics are multi-film and are often used for fishing waders. Sustainable Fabrics As always there is a big push toward sustainability and transparency in supply chains at these fabric trade shows. This becomes more and more prevalent each year. FFF hosted a zone for sustainable fabrics, featuring businesses making this a reality, and another zone specifically for wool. As a natural fiber, wool is a more sustainable choice than polyester or other plastic-based fabrics, and has the added advantage of staying warm while wet. Many skiers already depend on wool for high-output (sweaty) activities, and we’d love to offer a base layer product to keep you even more comfortable in our pants. One of my favorite fabric features was the WOOL X BREWED PROTEIN. Honestly not totally sure what that means but it sounds fascinating. We love clever and inventive ways of using fabric and materials. This concept was a driving force in starting AWNING. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64be96ded03cd82871090f93/3c308054-9037-4642-a888-5b52cd55d944/Journal+Icons+-+FFF+Inspo.png Journal - What’s happening in product land… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.awning-design.com/journal/bib-tips monthly 0.5 2025-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64be96ded03cd82871090f93/469d73ea-6460-4596-9423-3529a29ca3aa/Hanging.png Journal - Bib Tips & Apparel Care Method 1 impacts the PVC, making it more susceptible to cracking because it’s folded. (Note how the gusset is folded on the 3L, not the coating.) The 3L membrane can also be sensitive to but is protected by the face fabric and the circular knit backer. Method 2 might be better for your PVC coating, but can stretch the soft shell panel on the top. I am working to reinforce the soft shell panel (by adding seam allowance finishing with 3L fabric, which is not susceptible to stretching, and will help maintain shape and breathability.) But in the meantime, watch your stretch! And this applies to knits and lycra containing apparel, so keep in mind when you hang your sweaters, too :). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64be96ded03cd82871090f93/ae73757e-b707-454b-9e15-8ce85e629ae8/Journal+Post-taking+care+of+your+bibs.jpg Journal - Bib Tips & Apparel Care - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.awning-design.com/journal/the-bibs-go-touring monthly 0.5 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64be96ded03cd82871090f93/bc306fec-e2d5-49cb-8da1-0954c907f9ef/Screenshot+2025-01-12+at+5.00.08%E2%80%AFPM.png Journal - The bibs go touring… - I remarked half-way through our first climb, "Woah, I don't feel hot at all" and I might not have noticed the moisture build-up without the visible signs. We have heard other whisperings of the bibs performing well while touring, but other users have reported feeling moisture build-up and heat behind the panels while driving the 1 1/2 hours back to Bellingham from Baker. Another consideration is the impacts of this moisture build-up. I noticed sitting in the snow at the top was colder than usual. A friend in Colorado toured on a single digit day, and while she didn’t feel cold because she was moving, she noticed the internal moisture icing up. https://www.awning-design.com/journal/sizing-info monthly 0.5 2025-04-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64be96ded03cd82871090f93/1730066311059-SDSQBASMWVA6TC40U38O/IMG_1510.jpg Journal - Women’s Bibs Sizing Reference https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64be96ded03cd82871090f93/1730066330247-HGULJGQ8U02LYZS1SLR6/IMG_1379.jpg Journal - Women’s Bibs Sizing Reference https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64be96ded03cd82871090f93/1733777444652-7ALXD3BMUUU74ERB54QW/IMG_1926.png Journal - Women’s Bibs Sizing Reference https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64be96ded03cd82871090f93/8afcc43f-6130-4cbc-8303-b5131092dc2e/Size+Chart.png Journal - Women’s Bibs Sizing Reference - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64be96ded03cd82871090f93/97383d17-971d-44ed-b864-c493a3b0022d/size+chart+people.png Journal - Women’s Bibs Sizing Reference - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.awning-design.com/home daily 1.0 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64be96ded03cd82871090f93/0b02b2f6-4823-49a9-bf6c-7621c4be992d/Freya_Fennwood_Seca_Jan2025-17.jpg Home Skier sitting on the wet chairlift during a wet powder ski day.
