Leg zipper broke upon first use.
I love these bibs (other than the price, bought them on sale though) !! However... I wore them a few times without ever unzipping the legs. Today for the first time I tried to put them on over my Arctic Mucks and the left leg zipper would not work. I even lubed the zipper with silicone which helped some, but typical zipper issues... teeth would engage then half way down not be engaged, different point each time so not the teeth, it is the trolley that has a issue. These bibs are still like new and are very still, I almost wonder if that is the problem, the still material will not allow the zipper halfs to easily pull into alignment. I tried my best to guide it with my other hand, etc. but struggled. Never did get it to zip all the way again. Again, this happened the first time I tried to use it, the bibs are still like new. Back to HD I guess.. ~sigh

    Excellent bibs .Warm enough in even the coldest conditions. Tough durable material, rebar is no match for these bibs. I've snagged them on upright rebar and has not ripped. I can kneel in the mud and not have a wet knee all day. Has enough pockets to hold all your stuff. Size is about right I ordered a size larger than I normally wear and fits good. Leg zips all the way to the top, easy to take off with boots on. Home depot shipped them in two days, and couldn't beat the price.

      Really nice set of bib overalls made for tough working conditions or leisurely activities outside in cold weather. They were a little on the pricey side but they are very well-made. The material is very abrasion resistant. I walked through a bunch of briars and didn't even make a dent in them. It took me a while to get used to the chest pocket it's horizontal behind the outside pockets on the chest but once you get used to it it's nice for caring cell phone etc. securely with the zipper enclosure. Once you have had a zip to thighs pair of overalls you won't want to go back because you can put them on and off without removing your boots, which is real handy when it's cold out and you are getting back in your truck or need to run into the store.

      Bullet proof, or that's the way it feels. I've worn these for several days, since I received them & It is a quantum leap over the cotton bib overalls, I usually wear. The first time I put them on, I sat down to put my shoes on & immediately I felt the heat from my legs reflecting off of the overalls insulation, back onto me. On the job, some water splashed on me & these overalls shed the water like rain gear. At my farm, I work outside all day. These overalls kept me warm. I had plenty of room to move, without binding, or pinching, while bending over, or squatting down. Plenty of room for pencils, pens, marker pens, chalk, crayon & phone in the chest pockets. An extra large pocket, behind the chest pockets, I found handy just to put my hands into, for a moment of warmth. I also used it to put a multi-meter in. The pocket zips closed at both ends to keep stuff from falling out. The shoulder strap end clips are designed like an elongated hook. They didn't unhook themselves, as my other bib overalls have done, with a standard hook closure. These bib overalls also have: 3-leg pockets, hammer loop & tape measure hook, which I put to good use. The large zippers & snap closures on the legs are easy to zip up , or down & are heavy duty. Everything on these bib overalls were made for strength, warmth & comfort. I may never need another pair of Winter bib overalls, again.

      This is a great pair of overalls. I can't say enough about the functionality of these overall's. Plenty of pockets and storage, along with exceptional feel, warmth, and mainly comfort. The overalls have nice soft lined pockets on the side for warming your hands while your jacket is open. There are plenty of adjustments with buttons and straps that create a perfect feel. The size is perfect. I normally wear a 36 or 38 inch waist with a 30 inch inseam. These fit perfect. With boots on, the length is perfect. They fit very well over pants and offer plenty of flexibility and comfort. The ripstop material is reinforced in all of the areas that see the most wear and tear. The sides have buttons and zippers to open the legs. When I am working in the cold, the most important thing to me is to stay comfortable and warm. After getting cold, my motivation to keep working goes away quickly. These overalls offer everthing that anyone that works in the cold needs!! Definitely a great product!! I would strongly recommend!!

      This a very nice set of overalls that will work in just about any type of cold/harsh environment you throw at them. Perfect for working, shoveling snow, tailgating, hunting, etc. What I like: • Tremendous heat and wind protection. I used these on a 28 degree morning and they did their job very well. I’m expecting the same protection when temp’s drop to single digits. It was also windy with a mist and they did well to keep me comfortable. • These stretch where they should. I have had some overalls in the past that actually had a break in period and they were uncomfortable for about 2 months. These feel pretty good on day one. They have some stretch material in the inner thigh area that make a huge difference when you are sitting or kneeling. • They are adjustable for both your belly and around your shoulders. Best part is that if you get ‘close’ to your size you can adjust it to make it an ideal fit. • Buckles are easy to fasten and stay fastened. • Numerous pockets on the front and back. Front chest pockets have zippers for better security of your valuables. • Tool loops are a nice touch. • The material is really strong. I would feel comfortable rubbing up against somewhat sharp objects and not expecting a tear in the overalls. These feel and look like they will handle some significant abuse. What I don’t like: • I could not find anything concerning or even annoying on this set. Note: Keep an eye on the sizing. If you are over 6’ tall or close to a 34” inseam you will want to consider the Tall size. Overall, this is really a nice set that should provide years of quality service and comfort. I fully recommend these.

      Perhaps I should have got the large, as these are HUGE! I got the XL tall size since I'm always worried that something might not fit me. However, this is okay since I can stuff extra layers of clothing underneath for added warmth. For the purposes of comparison, I am 6'1"@ 220lbs, wear large, and my pant size is 36X32. I still have a few extra inches on the bottom, so taller and wider folk will fit in these with no problems. There are two buttons at the side which can be adjusted to accommodate larger individuals. The straps stretch and are adjustable for length. The bands are metal, not plastic like in some. I LOVE the fact that everything is either made of fabric, metal, or rubber, as I hate plastic, which tends to easily break. There are zippers with buttons on the outer side of each leg which go up slightly past the knee; perhaps for hot weather conditions? There is a zipper at the groin so you don't have to worry about taking these off every time you need to relieve yourself. There are back pockets, side pockets, front pockets, side loops, a hammer loop, and a large pocket in the front with zippers on both sides. This would be a great place to store hand-warmers if you're working outside in the cold, as I know I do. This is perfect for welding, and is made of very high quality material, but costs less than its competitors. You can tell the quality by the weight.

      These bibs are super heavy duty yet flexible when you need to bend over! My husband loves these. These are not a "slippery, snow-pant" material they are more like canvas but with the ability to stretch and move. My husband is 5'9" and we picked a size large, short length and they fit perfect! They have lots of pockets for tools. There are two back pockets, two front very deep, warm pockets. The legs each have 3 snaps with a zipper to make it easy if you are wearing with snow boots. My husband couldn't wait to take these off the other day because although it was chilly outside he got warm wearing them so these will be perfect for the cold winter weather that is coming! All they need is to make a version for women! Great product, well made!

      These are great bibs and they have the comfort, durability, and warmth to make them an outstanding choice. What I like: • Very durable. You can slide around on pavement, brush up against sharp items and these stand up to extreme abuse. • Comfortable standing and sitting. The sitting is the deal breaker with this type of clothing for many brands, but these still feel good either way. Some other brands bunch up and get uncomfortable in your inner legs; not these. It’s also not bulky, which is wonderful. • They are warm. Perfect for working, cold weather camping, tailgating, shoveling snow, etc. • Pockets everywhere and many have zippers to keep your stuff totally secure. • Wind and water resistant. • Buckles are easy to use and are secure once fastened. • Built in loops for tools. • Buttons on the side to adjust for your mid-section size and the shoulder straps adjust to get it just right for your height. What I don’t like: • I have one snap button on the pants that is loose that won’t stay buttoned. Not a big deal since it has a zipper underneath but just slightly annoying. Note: I have a 34” inseam and 34” waist. The Large and Tall bib was a perfect fit. Exactly perfect. Hopefully that helps a few others in deciding. Great set here. I really am a big fan and fully recommend them.

      This men's bib is extremely well made from a very tough Ripstop Polyester material. They are water resistant, so perfect for working outside in slight rain. There is a vast selection of pockets to choose from, so you'll never be without that tool or item. The straps go from the back to the front and attach with a simple hook. This makes wearing and removing them very simple to do. The legs also have zips and buttons to make shipping them on and off over work boots a breeze. Check out the included video for a quick walkthrough on some of the features.

      I love these Bibs, since I wear Bibs everyday these are almost perfect for cool to cold weather days. First thing that I noticed about these Bibs's is how well they are made, designed and the fabrics that are used are top grade. There are at least three different fabrics that make up the outer shell. The bulk of the outer shell is made of medium weight rip stop with very heavy rip stop used on the knees and other high wear areas and a heavy stretch fabric in the crotch. The knee area is made with a very heavy rip stop fabric and made to flex with a special fold of the fabric (see photos), The lower part of the leg that rides on the top of your boot is also made of this very heavy material. The inside is made of a soft quilted fabric that seems to insulate very well with no air penetration. There are lots of pockets in the chest area where you can carry a large screen phone, tape measure or whatever you need. The chest also has a large pass-thru pocket that has a zipper at both ends. These also have two buttons at the waist not just one like most, so you can wear a sweatshirt under them or just give yourself more room to move. Even the shoulder strap buckles and adjuster are super heavy duty, made of steel and should last forever. The only small problem that I have with these is that the thigh pocket openings are rather small if you have big hands. Once you put gloves on they become very small and hard to get into. These are the best Bibs that you can buy right now. Other brands have dominated the market for years but these are better and they are priced better too! Highly recommend.

      This is a really nice set of bibs. The ripstop polyester might be better for damp environments than the other high-grade canvas based bibs that I own. They have a light layer of insulation for cold weather. The sizing is the only confusing part. You would order the size: S, M, L, XL, 2X, or 3X then order the inseam length by Short, Regular, or Tall. I am usually a 42x30 and received an XLS XL-Short. They fit just fine.

      These bibs are not very bulky but they seem fairly warm. There seems to be flex in the places that can bind with some brands, especially in the crotch. The outer shell is wind and water resistant and very resistant to tearing even when scooting around on a concrete floor. The pockets are big and the zippers that go all the way to the thigh make them easy to get on and off. Can be paired with the jacket made of the same material. One thing to note - these seem to run a little big to account for extra clothes and the "tall" was almost too long for a guy with a 34" inseam.

      This Milwaukee Gridiron bib overall is another fine outerwear product from this manufacturer. It is made of a strong polyester fabric. The finishing of this overall has all the quality needed for long wear. The seams and pockets are double stitched. There are seven pockets. Two in the front, two in the back, and two on the legs. The inside has a quilted lining for warmth. The legs have a side zipper that goes from the thigh to the ankle with a snap covering. The color is black which is good for dirt and soil not showing. It is a size large regular length, which may run a little large, but has room for more layers if needed for very cold temperatures. The shoulder strap has a metal buckle that will last and not a plastic cheap one. It has stretch panels for easy movement. Everything is reinforced. It is wind and rain resistant.
