Keeping Snow Out
- The design of the bib makes it much more difficult to get snow down your pants. If you are a beginning skier or snowboarding, this is appealing, as you are likely to spend a bit more of your time rolling in the snow. One downfall is that if you do get snow down your bib, you are likely to be wet at both your top and bottom. Snow pants offer snow entry at the waist. As long as the top of your snow pants remains covered by your jacket, it is unlikely you will get snow down the pants provided you properly secure them. Especially in snowboarding, you might feel restricted by a bib, as your motion requires a hunching and raising as you move from toe edge to heel edge, making the straps loose and then tight.

Fashion Choices
-
There are fewer styles when it comes to bibs. The most common is the plain black style. Snow pants come in a wide range of colors and styles. The cuts for snow pants offer more choices when it comes to your personal size. Depending on your hip or leg size, you might find something fitting better all over. Bibs tend to be rather boxy.

Temperature Control
-
Bibs offer more warmth than pants. With the added material and greater coverage, they give you another layer below your jacket. They also secure against wind infiltration because even if your jacket moves, none of your skin will be exposed. While this is appealing when it is cold outside, if you are skiing in a warmer climate you could overheat. While you can remove your jacket, it will not cool you as much as if you just have snow pants on. Depending on how hard you work out when you play, you might want to have more leeway when it comes to how warm you are. Pants usually come in a variety of thicknesses with different types of lining. Most bibs are fairly bulky and warmly lined. This adds to the heat factor.
