i climb towers for a living and everyone that i work with wears carthartt winter gear. temps can get down to 0 with windchill of minus 30 up there. if they aren't freezing to death they look like the kid from a christmas story.i love the shoulder straps, elastic and very easy to get on. small inside pocket and two larger pockets on the chest that are perfect for gloves when you need to stow for technical work. a frozen tower will usually tear my clothes to pieces. these bibs allow for a phenomenal range of motion, 150% wind/water protection, and weigh in at only 22oz. oh, and i usually tear other bibs up in one winter on the razor-like frozen towers... one winter and counting without a single leak. it truly blows my mind.SECOND TO NONE.
