Bibs and Coveralls Question
I was looking to buy either a pair of coveralls or bibs and was wondering which one of these most people preferred and why. I am planning on buying one with thinsulate or something to keep me warm without all the bulk and was curious as to if any of yall had any reomendations on a certain brand. i am not ooking for the cheapest nor the most expensive. thanks for any help.

RE: Bibs and Coveralls Question
I have used both and I prefer the bibs and a jacket over the coveralls. I just wear the bibs while I am walking in a setting up so I don't get overheated. Then when I am in the stand, I will put on my jacket after I cool down for a bit. With the coveralls, I was dripping wet.

RE: Bibs and Coveralls Question
I layer, but like cover-alls better than bibs. I've found that both are too warm for walking long distances. I put them in my pack until I'm on the stand. But if it's cold out I'll put them on as soon as I'm going into the woods and just walk slower or unzip if I get warm, or take off your hat. On the really cold days is when I've noticed the biggest difference. The jacket and bibs let cold more cold air in during periods of wind. But, that is just my opinion!
Good luck.
Good luck.

I wear bibs for every season. I like the extra pockets. For turkey season I wear lighter bibs because when I sit down I like my lower back being covered and staying away from the wet grass and brush.

RE: Bibs and Coveralls Question
I also wear bibs. Ilike to be able to peel off layers if I get too warm. Also, I use bibs as kind of a clothing retainer, meaning that I put everything under them, then fasten the bibs, so that nothing is baggy in front and could hit my string. I really like my Cabela's Late Season Bibs, not expensive and very warm.
