Are these bibs waterproof?

No. They are water repellent, which handles light snow and drizzle, but the cotton duck will wet through in heavy or prolonged rain.

How do they fit over regular clothes?

They are cut roomy to layer over jeans or a base layer. Many owners size down if they plan to wear them over light clothing only.

What sizes are available?

Listings show sizes from S through XXL, plus numeric waist sizes. Check the size chart, since the fit runs large.

What is insulated in these bibs?

The legs and bib are quilted with insulation for cold-weather work. The shell is 100% cotton duck with reinforced knees.

When is the price usually lowest?

Workwear tends to discount in late winter and around seasonal sales. Watch the price history rather than buying at the first listing you see.

Are these bibs worth it compared with cheaper work bibs?

The duck shell, reinforced knees and quilted insulation are built to outlast lighter bibs, and the fabric can be patched rather than replaced. If you only need occasional warmth, a lighter unlined bib may be enough.

How do these compare to Carhartt's unlined bibs?

The unlined bibs are lighter and more flexible for mild weather; these add quilted insulation and a roomier cut for cold conditions. Choose the insulated pair if you work outside through winter.
