The North Face Ceptor Bib

Waterproof, breathable 3-layer shell bibs with full-coverage protection and backcountry-ready features for men.

The North Face Ceptor Bib is built as a storm-ready shell for resort and touring days when you want maximum protection without insulation bulk. The DryVent™ 3-layer shell construction with a non-PFC DWR finish provides waterproof, windproof and breathable performance, using recycled polyester for a durable, more responsible outer. A full-coverage bib with self‑equalising suspenders and an integrated waist belt keeps the fit secure while still feeling low-profile and easy to move in. Outer-leg vents, articulated knees and reinforced kickpatches round things out for big days lapping the lifts or hunting lines beyond the boundary.

• DryVent™ 3-layer shell: Robust waterproof and breathable construction keeps out snow and wind while allowing moisture vapour to escape on climbs and traverses.
• Full-coverage bib design: Higher front and back panels add protection from spindrift, blower powder and backpack rub.
• Self-equalising suspender system: Spring-loaded cam adjusters fine-tune the suspender length and automatically balance tension for a consistent fit.
• Integrated waist belt: Low-profile belt lets you snug the waist without needing an extra belt under your pack hipbelt.
• Secure storage layout: Multiple secure-zip chest and thigh pockets with internal organisation keep tools, skins and small essentials close and accessible.
• Outer-leg vents: Two-way zip vents on the legs allow you to dump heat quickly when skinning, bootpacking or riding in warmer conditions.
• Articulated knees: Patterned for a natural stance and efficient movement whether you are skiing, riding or scrambling around rocks.
• Zipped hem gusset and snap adjustment: Lets you open up the cuff for larger boots, then cinch it back down for a close, snag-free fit.
• Gaiters with gripper elastic and boot hook: Stretch gaiters seal to your boots and hook onto laces to keep snow from working its way inside.
• High-denier kickpatches: Reinforced lower legs improve durability against boot abrasion, crampons and ski or board edges.
