Love these bibs!

These bibs are a game changer. I hunted a couple years without them and froze every single sit. After the bibs my legs have never been cold, it keeps the wind out too! I hunt in Minnesota where the season is cold and windy, 0-15 degrees in the mornings in November, the fanatic bibs cured my freezing problem. I just wish I had bought them my first year of hunting. They are silent, no more sound when walking, and keeps supplies in pockets silent too, no more sound from water bottles, keys, hand warmer crinkling plastic, and snacks. I recommend buying a larger size as I followed the size chart and a large was a bit snug in the crotch area and the tummy when zipping up, so I traded them for the XL and now have plenty of room for under layers of clothes and moving space. I am 5 feet 6 inches, and 160pounds. The only downfall is they are not waterproof, rain will go through the bibs and sitting in the snow will get your butt wet. It works during a snow fall, and wetness doesn’t come through, but for some reason you can’t sit on snow already there on the ground without getting your bum soaked. They are so warm and cozy you have trouble staying awake while sitting in your stand. I let a couple other guy hunters try my bibs when they were cold and they both purchased the fantastic bibs after using mine. Everyone loves them. I couldn’t recommend them more! Buy them now, you will thank me later. Even though the price is crazy high, it is worth the investment.

Size Small: 5'2 and 133lbs Perfect fit

I have super short legs 36 inches long from the hip. The pants were about 6 inches longer on me which initially I worried about. However, once seated down the pants pull up to the perfect length covering my ankles to my boots. I love all the zippers especially the side zips to let out heat from the legs and the front zipper which goes all the way down making it easy to conduct the lady business. The bibs have lots of room for large hip women with a booty and thick thighs. The front adjustment loops to adjust straps are game changer in the field and quiet! I think only improvements would be I wished that the pockets were deeper so I could stuff more things in them. And instead of snaps to use magnets. But otherwise, I am in love with these.

These bibs are my most

These bibs are my most prized piece of clothing in my closet (when they make it there).I literally wear these 2/3 of the year and use them for everything. We do bird hunt with the dogs, but primarily my gear is used while I’m outside and working with and riding horses. It is durable in all the right places, the legs are long enough for riding, but also don’t drag, they are quiet and I can move effortlessly while staying warm with minimal layers. Believe it or not, I’m not the only one who shows up at barrel races with Sitka gear on either. You all have a whole additional market of outdoors people.

Really nice bibs. They definitely keep me nice a toasty and I'm glad they have a ton of pockets unlike my downpour pants. I'm 5'2 and 155lbs and originally ordered a medium but they were insanely long (probably about 6in too long, which despite being short, I usually don't struggle with pants being THAT much too long on me), so I opted to exchange for a small. The smalls are obviously more snug but I still can fit my lightweight crew neck and fanatic hoodie underneath. I do still roll them up a tiny bit but it works for me.

Wife is always cold. She had Under Armour gear and thought it was good. Last year I purchased the heavy thermals, equinox pants and jacket and the Fanatic Jacket. Hunting the rut she said it was the warmest she had been. This year I got her the Bibs in a size small. She loves them!! I want her to enjoy hunting and these are perfect for her!

So happy with this purchase. I'm 5'10 150lbs and I ordered a medium. The length is just right, with room for thin layers. Would size up if you want to add more layers though. Definitely worth the money, if you're debating spending the extra dollar I would highly suggest these bibs.

Highly recommend along with the fanatic jacket. A must for deer hunting in the freezing weather. I opted to up a size to fit over mid layer leggings and another pair of pants. I am 5 ft 7in 150 and they fit great! Not too short or long either. Super quiet and easy to get on. Very warm! So many pockets too!

The warmth of these bibs

The warmth of these bibs is everything!! So far, I have worn a light baselayer and the bibs and have stayed plenty warm!! I love how quiet the bibs and zippers are and also the amount of pockets I have to hold everything I need. These are well worth the price!

This is my first year

This is my first year hunting and as we know big brands like Sitka can be on the expensive side and I just could not bring myself to spend the money. I did some research found good reviews about other products and purchased some gear. First day in the stand I instantly regretted my decision. I came back inside and ordered my Bibs and the Celsius jacket. While it was hard to swallow $400+ for one article of clothing I have been SUPER happy with my purchase. Shortly after receiving my Bibs we had a cold front with highs in the 40-50s. I wore my new gear and what a difference. First day out I missed my deer due to shaking from the cold, now I am rock solid. I do plan to purchase the Fanatic Jacket as well before it gets into deep winter... again I just have a hard time spending $400+ but I know it will be well worth it and will last years. When I wear my bibs I am completely silent, I am warm but not hot. I can easily move around and love the seat on these, It works wonderfuly to keep the tree stand cold out. Needless to say I am happy with my purchase and while SHE was not bad, it is gear I am going to save for early season, trail clearing or the unusally warm days. I measure 36 chest and 29 waist. I ordered a medium and was a little worried I would not have room to layer. However I can wear my base layer and sweat pants if I wanted to and still move comfortably. Long story short I know this product can be expensive but it is worth it, and from what Ive found in my research along with word of mouth from people I know they will last years! Sitka also has wonderful customer service, I have emailed in a few times with questions and also get promt responses that actually help. If you have any questions about the gear I would highly encourage you to contact them.

These bibs were a game

These bibs were a game changer here in Northern Minnesota. The warmth and quiet are unmatched to any other system I’ve tried in the past. The fit is nice too, doesn’t restrict movement and allows for an additional layer to be worn underneath. For reference I’m 5’4” 135lbs and I ordered a small. I laid out last winter for hours at 0°F with a breeze in a snow blind and I was not just comfortable but warm the entire sit!

Gear is good as far as warmth but the zipper broke on the second hunt I went on. Pretty disappointed with that part. Have to take it to a tailor to fix. For the money I spent I wouldn’t have thought that would have happened on the second hunt

This jacket and bib combo

This jacket and bib combo is absolutely amazing. I’ve owned cheaper combo sets and there is a big difference. Every feature is well thought out. In very cold weather, I wear merino base layer, down jacket and pants, and this jacket and bib set. Best hunting purchase ever.

I'm pumped! This will be the first year and I don't stumble through the woods with my arms straight out like a 'T' due to the sheer number of layers that I typically need to stay warm in my tree stand. I will no longer have to carry a warming seat cushion, there is protection built into these bibs. I will no longer struggle to have easy access to items I use frequently thanks for the thoughtfully placed easy access pockets. I will no longer have to pull down layers and worry about my low back getting cold. These bibs; like another reviewer said, fit like jammies. They are incredible cozy, incredibly quiet and incredibly convenient. Paired with my fanatic jacket, I have no doubt that I'll be warm, comfortable and not over layered for this upcoming whitetail season. I believe this system will help me sit longer and aid in being successful harvesting deer. For reference I'm 5'2' weight 130lbs and ordered a size small, they fit perfectly, even in length.

I just love my fanatic

I just love my fanatic bib ! The fabric is so soft and warm, it's like hunting in my pyjama. I used it for late whitetail hunting in Quebec (treestand and ground). I have the previous version which is very quiet. I just saw the new version and it's a lot quieter (i didnt tought it was possible). The lenght is perfect and the side zippers are very useful for quick dressing. I like that the suspenders can be detach easily for WC time ;) ! I also love the pockets emplacement and the fit. I have the small size, i'm 5''6 and 146lb. I bought it a few years ago at 130lb and it still fit very nicely with room for layering.

If I hadn't bought a

If I hadn't bought a pair for myself I never would've believed that these were legit. These bibs are super quiet. (I'll be picking up the jacket as soon as my size is back in stock because while my bibs were quiet, my non-Sitka jacket was noisy as all.) They are super versatile. While I wore them in winter in PA and stayed warm, I could easily see myself wearing them in the earlier season while venting the legs which have 2 zippers so you could vent from the bottom or the top or both. The cuffs at the bottom are tailored somewhat so that they don't slide below my boot (with the exception of my Irish Setter Rutmaster 2.0 muck style boots that appear to have a very narrow ankle.) I'm 5'1' so the length is something I was concerned about. I love how simple yet elegant the adjustment is for the suspenders. No plastic buckles to slide as the day goes on, plus the rubbery backing on the suspenders helps to keep them in place! I have to RAVE about all of the pockets! First, the chest handwarmer pockets are my fav. I used to stick my hands inside other bibs, but I don't have to with these, and the lining is super warm. Then there are the regular pockets that zip on the sides which are deep enough for a plus size cell phone. On top of that are the cargo pockets. These are perfect for putting that cell phone in when you're sitting down so you don't have to contort your body to remove said cell phone. And then there's also a mini knife/quick access pocket on the outside of the cargo pockets. Like I said, I never would've believed it, but I can easily see myself getting rid of my old bibs and making these my one and only.

Yes they are expensive but

Yes they are expensive but they are a must add to any hunters winter wardrobe! After years of hunting with different pants and multiple layers I finally splurged on getting the fanatic bibs and jacket - what a game changer! The days of shivering in the stand are over. I normally wear wool leggings underneath on the negative to just at freezing days. When walking in for your hunt and your temperature starts getting warm you can adjust how much of the cold air you want to let in with the leg zippers. Material is extremely quite. The pockets are nice and toasty.

Very warm and nice, but zipper broke quickly

I got these bibs to wear for Ohio’s cold hunting season. They were great all week, but the zipper split due to some teeth breaking off on the fifth morning I wore them. I did some Googling and I noticed others have had this issue. I sent them back and Sitka took care of it, fixing the zipper at no cost to me. It was just a bummer because I sent them back December 7th, but I didn’t get them back repaired until February 27th. I was unfortunately without warm bibs for the entire hunting season! They now have a black zipper on them, so I am hoping that is different and more durable.

Great Investment

Initially ordered these in a Large which is what my light and mid season sizes are but ended up sizing down. I probably could have kept a L in the jacket but sized down on that too and it still fit. This set is so cozy and kept me so warm in the marsh - very impressed on how quickly it dries too.

Fit was too small

I like to have a base layer and mid layer and then have room for another layer or two when it gets really cold (teens or colder) and windy. The large was too small to accommodate more than a couple layers so I returned it. If you are someone who wants to be able to have multiple layers I would definitely size up.
