Great fit and super warm.

Great fit and super warm. Have been looking to purchase the Fanatic Bibs for a couple of years now and finally pulled the trigger on a sale. Great pair of bibs that should keep me warm into the 20's without having to have to many layers on. Also I hunt in North Louisiana where the cover pattern will work perfectly. I'm 5-11 220lbs and the XL fits perfectly.

The Garment quality is superior!!

The quality and the warmth offer my prima loft sliver is awesome, I wear a medium for most garments, but I order the large for layering. I am 510 155lbs, I am putting to rest my Chuck Adams super slams. I was not staying warm anymore and tired of wearing 15 layers. I will use the fanatic for 20 to -10 in Kansas and the wind stoper works great!!

Perfect mid season to early late season set up in MN

I archery hunt in MN. Sometimes till the end of December. I used this set up from late october to early December. It was plenty warm for the late October early November. By december even with layers it was tolerable at best. I switched to my incinerator bibs than. The fanatic bibs are very quiet and reasonably durable.

I’m 6’3” and 230 lbs,

I’m 6’3” and 230 lbs, the XL is just on the cusp of being a little too short in the leg. They didn’t have the Long/tall version in stock at the time but it’s nothing that can’t be fixed by just loosening the shoulder straps a little more. I wish they continued the fleece even just a little below the knee but I understand not wanting to pick up extra burrs. This wouldn’t stop me from buying it, I’m very pleased with this bib, super quiet, lots of convenient pockets.

Whitetail gear

Bibs are honestly warmer and roomier than I expected. I’ve got a few items from Sitka but this by far is the warmest, most quiet outfit yet. I typically upsize as I find their clothing is too snug so I went with an XL. Very comfortable, 6’ tall 34 or 36 waist, 210lbs. I just don’t prefer the tight thighs and these fit as I would have wanted.

Awesome

I bought the jacket and bibs in a large. I'm 5'6" and 170. I will say the bibs are a little big. Overall not bad considering most people would do layering underneath. The top fits pretty snug. I was wearing a long sleeve as well as the traverse hoodie. I was tree stand hunting in single digits and this suit is completely warm! Sometimes I was even having to take clothes off. I love how its quiet it is as well.

BEST LATE SEASON BIBS OUT THERE!

I've been running the fanatic jacket several seasons now so completing the set with the bibs only seemed right. I was not disappointed, they make late season long sits comfortable. The wind blocker technology is an absolute must during the Maine whitetail season. Highly recommend.

Fanatic bib

Kept me warm during late season. I love the hand pockets allow me to not wear gloves but keep my hands warm and allow for easy access. Below the knee material keeps from getting burrs and fits better in my boot. It is heavy and I wouldn't like a long hike to the treestand in this bib.

Super warm bibs

I purchased e these in November last year and wore them in December and January for late season archery in central Illinois. They are beyond comfortable and warm. I can easily use my climber wearing these. They allow you to be super flexible. They fit over my Ventlight boots. They are a great pairing with the Fanatic Jacket for late season hunts. I'm 6"1" and wear the MT.

Fanatic Bibs are worth the coin - 6ft 205lb Appalachian mountains

Had the old celsius bibs from 2008, had the old stratus bibs and jacket from 2012, got the new stratus bibs and jacket last year. . . finally dumped the coin into the fanatic bibs, jacket and vest. Got em on sale but even if I had to do it over at full price I'd do it. This stuff is the real deal for 5 degrees and 15mph wind. No more merino, timberline, puffy pants, puffy jacket and stratus Michelin man for me. Pack it to the bottom of the tree, cool down for 5 minutes and put this stuff on and you WILL be warm.

I purchased this product for late Fall and early winter bear and deer hunting in mid Manitoba. You must stay warm or you’re going to be miserable at a minimum. Or life threatening. This Fanatic Bib worked perfect for me.

Great Bib

Amazingly warm. I'm 5-9 160pounds. I bought the large, so its a little big but I wanted it that way to layer. The pockets and zippers layout is great. I was surprised with the camo pattern and did notice a difference how deer didn't notice me as with other camo patterns.

Keeps you plenty warm for late season sits

As a public land hunter I usually have to hike in over a mile (sometimes 2 or 3) to reach un pressured areas. I’ll put these on before I settle into my stand and it’ll keep me from falling into those post-hike in deep chills in the late season and keeps me warm for the rest of the sit as well.

Super warm

I am always cold, going out late season whitetail hunting is hard especially during windy frigid temps but this helped tremendously! Super warm, a little bulky but worth it! Opening zippers to breathe while getting to the stand was convenient.

Perfect for the late season whitetail grind.

Switched from the stratus to the fanatic jacket and bibs and it’s a night and day difference. Sat in the stand with a light base layer, Midi jacket and fanatic set in 10 degrees for and evening sit in late michigan archery and I was very comfortable.

Quality control issues.

I bought this bib along with the jacket for my colder New Jersey hunts. After receiving the bib i was able to have it out once for an all day blind sit. With the wind chill that day it got to -12. The bib and jacket kept me warm and comfortable enough to enjoy those temperatures. The fabric is also very quiet as advertised and blocks wind completely. However there are some issues i have. After opening the package i immediately noticed the bib had a very strong odor that i would compare to vicks vapor rub mixed with a strong laundry detergent. This scent is strong, even overwhelming. Definitely not a scent you want in the field. Also upon wearing the garment for the first time i noticed a 2 inch hole in the right side standard pocket. I hate to think it but i feel like i was sent something that was pre owned and returned. Overall i feel its a good garment, however for $500 the quality control is sub acceptable.
