Jones Men's Higher GORE-TEX 3L Bib 2027 | Glacier Gray
Climb High. Ride Hard. Stay Dry.
The Jones Men's Higher GORE-TEX 3L Bib 2027 in Glacier Gray is a premium 3-layer snowboard bib for alpine adventures in extreme conditions. Built with GORE-TEX® Performance ePE fabric, it's durably waterproof, windproof and breathable. It's backed by the GORE-TEX® "Guaranteed to Keep You Dry" promise, so you can push through storms, long skin tracks and multi-day backcountry missions in total confidence.
Redesigned for 2027 as the successor to Jones's Shralpinist 3L Bib, the Higher pairs a lightweight yet rugged 100% recycled 70D nylon face with an ergonomic, articulated fit. It's made to move naturally through every step of the climb and every turn on the way down. RECCO® technology adds a layer of backcountry safety, and the Glacier Gray colourway gives your kit a clean, modern look.

Jones Men's Higher GORE-TEX 3L Bib FAQ
Why choose a bib over a pant for the backcountry?
The Higher's bib design gives you extra coverage when you're in deep snow, along with chest pockets and a breathable bib top. A full frontal zip and quick-relief drop seat make it practical on long days out.
Is it waterproof enough for extreme conditions?
Yes. It's built with fully seam-sealed 3-layer GORE-TEX® Performance ePE fabric backed by the "Guaranteed to Keep You Dry" promise, and Jones rates it 10/10 for waterproofing.
Does it have avalanche safety features?
Yes. It's RECCO® equipped, which helps rescue teams with RECCO® detectors locate you.
Will it keep me warm?
It's an uninsulated 3-layer shell, rated 5/10 for warmth by Jones. Pair it with base layers to suit the conditions.
How does it fit?
It's a regular fit with an articulated cut, adjustable shoulder straps and an adjustable waist. Check the size chart above. Women should go down one size, as Jones recommends. If you're unsure, call us on 03 9421 2293.
Is there a matching jacket?
Yes. The Jones Men's Higher GORE-TEX 3L Jacket also comes in Glacier Gray for a full matching kit.
How should I care for it?
Follow the care label for washing and drying instructions.

Why Buy from Twelve Board Store
Twelve Board Store has been riders selling to riders since 2013. We are not a generic retail chain — we are a specialist board sports retailer built around genuine product knowledge, real rider experience and the kind of after-sales support that only comes from a team that actually uses the gear they sell.
Every brand we stock, we ride. Every recommendation we make comes from real experience — on the mountain, in the park, on the street, and on the road. When you call us, you talk to someone who has been on a snowboard at Hotham last weekend or a skateboard in the carpark this morning. That is the difference between buying from Twelve and buying from a warehouse with a website.
We offer services that no online-only retailer can match. Our in-store workshop handles snowboard waxing and tuning, boot heat moulding, electric skateboard and e-bike repairs and assembly, and warranty support handled in-house rather than shipped offshore to a call centre. If something goes wrong with your gear, we fix it. If your boots don't fit, we sort it. If you ordered the wrong size, we swap it — no questions asked.
Our showroom at 435A Bridge Road Richmond stocks the full range across snowboards, bindings, boots, skateboards, longboards, electric skateboards, e-bikes, outerwear and accessories. We offer free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $89, AfterPay and Zip for flexible payment, and fast dispatch so your gear arrives when you need it.
Over a decade in business. More than 1,000 reviews. The most trusted specialist board store in Melbourne. If you need advice before you buy, call us on 03 9421 2293, visit us in-store, or contact us online — we'll get you sorted.
