The PowSlayer Kit: 3 Months In

Patagonia’s first reboot of the PowSlayer kit since 2017 introduces a full-featured kit in PFAS-free Gore-Tex Pro.

Read the PowSlayer first look. Japan in January. It seemed like everyone from both hemispheres had the same idea this year. A lean snow year across much of the Western U.S. and Europe had me browsing flights to Japan by mid-December, and luckily, prices were still fairly reasonable. I tossed my 118-underfoot Moment Bibby Tours…

    They offered a low cut bib option in the Powslayer in years past. Perhaps they’ll bring this back next year?

      I got confirmation from Patagonia customer service they will be bringing back the low cut powslayer bib next year. Colors for that and the jacket are grey, black, “summit blue” and “pumpkin orange”.

        Thanks for the heads-up. Let the bib v. pant w/suspenders debate continue. Barry will be pleased.

    I have been using the Fall 26 bib all winter in NE and for a trip to Chamonix last week. (sales samples) the new upcoming bib is a better fit than the old version, much nicer in the waist. It is the same kind of “half bib” hat the old one was, but the fit is much better and yes I like the suspenders better than a belt. It’s the best of both – pant and bib; slightly higher than a pant and has suspenders but not as hot and stuffy as a full bib.
