I'm looking for some goretex proshell or event bibs because i ski in the PNW and it is rather wet here. I've already looked at arcteryx, TNF, Mountain Hardwear, Norrona, Westcomb, and Burton AK series and none of these companies really have what exactly i'm looking for. Specifically what i'm looking for is a highly water resistant (preferably goretex or event), durable, relaxed fit (not mountaineering fit otherwise) bib that isn't black in color. Anybody know if this exists? Also, if anyone knows of any goretex one pieces that aren't sweet protection or norrona (can't buy sweet in the states and backcountry is the sole distributor of norrona in the u.s. and they are out of what i want) feel free to post those up too.

 
20k is not goretex proshell.

get some XXL mountaineering pants. i picked up some eider pants that are red and cranberry xxl with suspenders and spandex bibs PRO SHELL. i love em to death. there is really no comparison to proshell. if you have the money drop it and you will have these pants performing at the top of the outerwear game for years to come.
 
i have heard, even though its h20 and breathability are usually listed as GARANTEED that proshell is over 40k 40k
 
if you have some serious cash to drop on outerwear you can look at the oakley alps stuff or the top end helly hanson gear

Try the Burton AK 3L or 2L bib...I think there is an idiom and hover series...and maybe some other ones too. These are all goretex and come in green/white/black. Cloudveil makes a bib too called the Koven I think, but it's black. It's made of Cloudveils custom material, but it's ust as good as gore-tex or eVent. Also check out Trew gear up in Oregon...www.trewgear.com...a little pricy but I've seen the Trewth bib in person and its sicker than any bib out there. Also, 20k waterproofing is basically the same as gore-tex or eVent in terms of waterproofness, just not breathability necessarily.
