Arc'teryx Men's Rush Bib

Redesigned for FW25, the Arc'teryx Rush Bib is a touring-ready hardshell bib built for skiers who earn their turns and need their gear to handle both directions of the day. A PFAS-free GORE-TEX Pro shell handles the descent, while a stretch-woven softshell upper bib adds four-way mobility for the skin track without restricting movement or trapping heat. It's a bib that takes you from the trailhead to serious terrain without compromise.

Why we like it:

The redesigned top-entry bib pockets are a meaningful upgrade: you can reach in with gloves on, over a pack hipbelt or harness, without hunting for a horizontal zipper buried under your jacket hem. For skiers who carry gear up high, that accessibility difference adds up over a long day in the field.

Features and Functions:

The Rush Bib pairs a PFAS-free 80-denier GORE-TEX Pro ePE main shell (131gsm, jet dyed) with a four-way stretch recycled nylon-elastane softshell panel at the upper bib (138gsm), which adds aerobic mobility without sacrificing wind and moisture protection. A PFAS-free FC0 DWR finish runs throughout. Zippered thigh vents open fast for heat management on steep approaches. A stretch-softshell gaiter seals the cuff over boots; a lower-profile RECCO reflector is embedded in the gaiter for search situations. Keprotec instep reinforcements protect against edge cuts. Storage includes two redesigned top-entry bib pockets and two zippered thigh pockets, each with a media sleeve and key clip for organized backcountry access. The suspender attachment system is revised to minimize slipping under a loaded pack while remaining easy to adjust on the go.

Fit and Sizing:

Regular fit with touring-specific articulated patterning, cut to an 84cm inseam. The revised fit for FW25 improves mobility through the hip and knee, with enough room to layer a light baselayer underneath without restricting stride on steep skin tracks. True to size.

Bottom Line:

The Rush Bib targets the skier who goes uphill to ski down; demanding on both ends of the day and built to match. The FW25 redesign makes an already capable bib more functional, with better pockets, better fit, and GORE-TEX Pro durability for serious terrain.
