About this product
The Helly Hansen Rider 2.0 Kids Waterproof Insulated Snow Bibs combine serious winter weather protection with PrimaLoft® warmth and reinforced high-wear areas for kids who spend their winter moving, playing, and exploring outside.
HELLY TECH® Performance construction provides waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant protection, with a 17,000 mm water column for wet and snowy conditions. PrimaLoft® Black 100g insulation adds warmth, while reinforced knees, seat, and hems are designed for the places kids put winter gear to work the hardest.
Why Parents Love It
- 17,000 mm waterproofing: HELLY TECH® Performance construction provides dependable weather protection for snowy, wet winter days.
- PrimaLoft® warmth: PrimaLoft® Black 100g insulation adds warmth for cold-weather activities without taking away from active movement.
- Reinforced where kids need it: Reinforcement fabric at the knees, seat, and hems adds durability in high-wear areas.
- Room to grow: Adjustable length helps the bibs adapt as kids grow.
- Made for movement: Articulated knees and stretch panels support comfortable movement while climbing, skiing, sledding, crouching, and playing.
- Winter-ready coverage: Snow gaiters, adjustable leg openings, elastic suspenders, and under-foot bands help keep the bibs comfortably positioned during active winter play.
Built for Real Outdoor Use
Winter bibs earn their place in a kid's closet when they can handle more than a quick walk through the snow. Rider 2.0 is built for snowbanks, sledding hills, outdoor school, ski days, playground mornings, and the countless times kids decide sitting, kneeling, or crawling through the snow is much more interesting than simply walking through it.
Helly Hansen reinforces the knees, seat, and hems—the areas that see some of the hardest use during an outdoor childhood. Articulated knees support movement, while the no-back-seam seat construction is designed for additional waterproofness and durability.
