What our reviewers liked and didn't
Fanatic Bib
- Berber fleece face yields virtually dead-silent movement in freezing conditions
- Windproof membrane completely eliminates convective heat loss on exposed stands
- Full-length side zippers allow fast boot-friendly on-stand layering
- Integrated chest muff keeps your release hand warm without bulky gloves
- High-pile fleece exterior collects burs, seeds, and vegetation aggressively
- Too warm and bulky to wear during long approach hikes without overheating
- High price point makes it an expensive purchase for short seasonal windows
Incinerator Aerolite Bib
- Absolute windproof and waterproof protection against freezing rain and sleet
- Aerogel insulation provides substantial warmth with less bulk than traditional fill
- Brushed exterior remains remarkably quiet during sub-freezing draw cycles
- Full-length leg zips allow easy entry over bulky pac boots and quick heat dumping
- Far too warm and heavy for any moderate to high-exertion hunting
- Soft-brushed outer fabric acts as a magnet for burrs and thorny undergrowth
- Significant financial investment for a highly specialized, late-season piece
