Which is better for summer work?

The Berne. Its 7.9 oz. stretch denim is lighter and buyers say it stays comfortable all day in heat. The Key is 100% cotton ring-spun and heavier at 2 lb.

The Key has the edge on paper. All-cotton ring-spun denim with reinforced bib top tabs resists wear better than a spandex blend, though the Berne's stretch helps prevent seam strain from movement.

Is the Berne worth extra money?

Only if you value stretch and an adjustable fit. If prices are close and you want a plain durable bib, the Key is the better value. Check current prices on Deal.ai first.

Which fits better if I'm between sizes?

The Berne, because the waist adjusts and the bib straps are elasticized. The Key comes in a fixed size 4 waist with no adjustment.

Can I carry a phone in the bib?

Yes on the Berne: the zippered multi-tool bib pocket fits a phone and secures it. The Key's chest pocket uses a snap closure, which is quicker but less secure.

Do either have a tape measure loop?

The Berne does, with a dedicated tape measure opening plus side utility pockets. The Key has double utility pockets on each leg but no listed tape measure opening.
