L1 Loretta Salopette

Most of the people buy bib pants for freeriding. I spend most of my time in park and also here it happens fast that i slip out and the snow gets behind my pants. Because i don’t want to spend the whole day wett, i decided to buy me bib pants. Doesn’t matter if it’s cold or warm, i can combine it with jacket, or hoody only. And not to forget, they’re totally in trend at the moment. I’m also a fan of L1 brand and already have their jacket. I like their designs. The collections are small, so i don’t need to worry that i’ll see everybody wearing the same clothes as me. I’m 155cm tall, slim figure, and bought the pants in XS. I find that L1 cuts are generally a bit bigger than other brands, so for me, the pants could be a bit shorter and tighter.

I tested the pants in powder and park, warm and cold conditions. They kept me dry the whole time. They are quite stretchy, comfortable and airy, but i would expect them to be warmer. I like that they have five pockets, but only two of them (chest and poo) with a zipper. Very important for me is an ankle zip, so i can put them over bindings easily. Suspenders come with classical button-system, that i don’t find so practical or easy to open.

Overall, the pants fit good and they meet my expectations. I would recommend them to everybody that like to combine trend with functionality and good quality.
