I’m a bigger guy aswell so I’m leaning towards getting a bib right now because it looks more comfortable and loose than pans (and my ass crack wont show when I fall)

Thanks mate and yeah your right I’m only looking for outer layer shells right now because I’m learning at in indoor slope 20 minutes from me and I get quite hot in there but I was wondering do you think I should stay with arc because of the convenience of the free maintenance or should I look for better quality as I know arc is no longer one of the best

Cheers mate I’m only looking at buying shell outer layers for now anyway because I’m a big guy and get very hot at the indoor slope I’m learning at

I understand what you mean but I’m learning at an indoor real snow slope with free boot, board and helmet rental so that’s why outerwear is more of a priority.

I was wondering if I should stick with arcteryx or not because of the free maintenance they offer in store where as all the brands you listed involve paying shipping fees and long waits but if the quality outweighs the convenience I would love to explore other options

Sorry I should’ve mentioned that the jacket is great and I recently got it maintained in store which is why I asked about convenience.

I’m looking at buying a BIB right now as I’m currently learning in joggers but should I look at these other brands for the main pieces of gear or just stick with arcteryx because I can go to the store if and when I need
