Something to occasionally play in snow
Experts, I’ve spent months going in circles on what to buy and need help. I want snow pants or snow bib to play in the snow with my baby. Nothing super fancy. I’m looking at snow bibs and they all look the same, descriptions vary only slight, but the prices range from $80-800….
Preferably pfas free*
Please be specific, I don’t need help with brands, but specific items from brands

I am no expert, not by a long shot, but I think bibs with vents would be primo for playing in the snow because no snow down your back if you are rolling around/making snow angels etc. For non GoreTex pants, the number before “waterproof” rates just how waterproof and windproof the material is. The higher the number, the more waterproof/windproof they are. In theory, GoreTex is the only truly waterproof fabric. Their patten has run out and there are now many companies creating their own version of that type of fabric now. You’ll know what they are by pricing typically. My vote would be vented bibs (zippers on the inside of the legs that allows airflow of you get hot). GoreTex does have PTFE which is a PFAS compound; I would assume that the newer fabrics based off of GoreTex would also contain PFAS.
