The face of the fabric has also been made from 85% recycled nylon and has been designed to stretch in line with the movement of your body. This is all thanks to a four-way stretch being built in. A four-way stretch is pretty helpful when it comes to ensuring the jacket and pants move with you when you’re reaching up high on those rocky scrambles, or making massive strides during a ski touring ascent.

Features

The Manifest Tour 3L bib pants have features and details that, when brought together, result in a hassle-free touring pant which feels like exactly what you need in the backcountry. The articulated knees, for example, mean a comfortable fit and provide heightened freedom of movement. The stretch cordura side panels on this bib pant, meanwhile, provide durability and comfort on the move. 

The adjustable suspenders have comfortable flat buckles that don’t cause rubbing or nuisance. Combining the suspenders with side vents for touring is a superior mix, we should add. The comfort and ease of adjusting your temperature and air flow without loose fabric flapping around is an underrated thing, and makes for a hassle-free adventure. 

The jacket has a helmet-compatible hood with a bonded storm visor and protective high collar with comfortable poly tricot liner. Lycra wrist gaiters with laser cut thumb loops provide a seamless fit and prevent any snow getting in anywhere it shouldn’t.

You’ve then got large easy access side venting and a large chest pocket with laser cut mesh lining for improved breathability. There’s a waterproof sleeve pocket for phones, keys and cards. We also like the extra large front pockets and mesh lining system for some sweet moisture regulation.

The Bib pants have vents in all the right places, zipper vents in the inner thigh and laser-cut vents inside the large multi-entry thigh pockets. The multi-entry thigh pockets have an expanding capacity construct – making them ideally suited for storing skins or wet gloves.

“An extremely capable outerwear set that will keep you well protected and comfortable on and off the skin track”

Combine that with the adjustable waist with non-slip silicon print, and zip and snap-button system that makes the bib cuff adjustable, and you’re left with a product where you can optimise the fit to suit you and the activity you’re undertaking (most likely ski touring, of course). The FW Manifest Tour is an extremely capable outerwear combination that will keep you well protected and comfortable on and off the skin track.
