How This Review Happened

We were fortunate enough to visit the Jones headquarters in Truckee California and film this review in their beautiful new studio.

Fit 

The Jones mountain surf bib is made with a relaxed fit. These seem to fit a little baggier than the mountain surf pant, but I am trying on a large when I usually wear a medium.

Construction

The Jones mountain surf bib consists of a four way stretch fabric, with extra durable fabric in the knees and seat. Very high quality seem welding and minimalist stitching.

Waterproofing/Breathability

We haven’t field tested this, but the Jones mountain surf bib is rated at 20k waterproofing/20k breathability for both fabrics. The fabric in the seat and knees has the same waterproof/breathability rating as the four way stretch fabric even though it is a rougher, abrasion resistant fabric.

Pockets

3 pockets total. 2 large front zipper pockets with a mesh media holder and a micro fleece lining. One large zippered chest pocket with a smaller inner mesh media pocket.

Gaitors/Cuffs

Standard boot gaitor.

Venting

2 large zippered side vents on the outside of the thighs. No inner crotch vents.

Liner

The Jones mountain surf bib has a recycled polyester lining that is soft to the touch.

Conclusion

The Jones mountain surf bib is a more affordable option to gore tex pants or bibs. We love the frost blue color-way shown in the video section of this review. The mountain surf bib and anorak come together to make one of our favorite matching outerwear kits on the market.
