Kids Waterproof Insulated Snow Bibs – The North Face Freedom – Extendable_#color_TNF-black

Frequently Asked Questions

Are The North Face Freedom Insulated Bibs waterproof?
Yes. These bibs use The North Face DryVent™ 2-layer waterproof, breathable construction with sealed seams to help keep kids dry during snow play, sledding and winter adventures. The outer fabric also has a non-PFC durable water-repellent finish for additional protection from moisture.
How warm are The North Face Kids’ Freedom Insulated Bibs?
These are substantially insulated snow bibs with 200 g Heatseeker™ synthetic insulation. They're designed to provide dependable warmth for skiing, snowboarding and long stretches of winter play. Synthetic insulation is also a practical choice for kids because it continues providing insulation in damp conditions.
Do The North Face Freedom Bibs have an extendable grow feature?
Yes! The Good to Grow system allows parents to extend the hem by up to 2 inches (5 cm). This can give growing kids additional leg length and potentially another season of wear before moving into the next size.
How does the Good to Grow feature work?
The extendable construction is built into the hem of the bibs. When your child needs additional length, the hem can be extended by up to 2 inches. We recommend starting with the size that fits your child now rather than buying significantly oversized bibs—the growth feature is there to provide extra length later.
Are these a good choice for Outdoor School or forest school in winter?
Yes. These are one of the types of snow bibs we like for long outdoor days because they combine waterproof protection, substantial insulation and reinforced high-wear areas. They're well suited to kids who will be kneeling, climbing, sitting and actively playing in snow rather than simply moving between indoors and outside.
Are the knees reinforced?
Yes. The knees are reinforced, and additional durable material is used at the bottom hems and inner-leg boot kickpatches. These are particularly useful features for kids because knees and lower legs tend to take the most abuse during fort building, sledding, climbing and everyday snow play.
