Jones Men's Higher GORE-TEX 3L Bib FAQ
Who is the Higher GORE-TEX 3L Bib for?
Jones built it for riding in extreme conditions and for multi-day expeditions. It suits splitboarders, backcountry riders and anyone who wants maximum storm protection.
How does it compare to the Further 3L Stretch Pant?
Both are 3-layer shells. The Higher uses GORE-TEX® Performance ePE with the "Guaranteed to Keep You Dry" promise, in a bib cut with a drop seat and chest pockets. The Further uses Jones's own 30K/30K fabric with 4-way stretch, in a pant cut.
Is it insulated?
No. It's an uninsulated 3-layer shell, which Jones rates 5/10 for warmth. It's designed for layering, so add base layers to match the conditions.
What happened to the Shralpinist 3L Bib?
The Higher GORE-TEX 3L Bib replaces it and has been redesigned for 2027 with GORE-TEX® Performance ePE 3-layer fabric.
How does it fit?
It's a regular fit with an articulated cut and adjustable shoulder straps and waist. Use the size chart above, and note that Jones recommends women go down one size. 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 is designed to pair with this bib, and it also comes in Stealth Black.
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.
