Looking for suggestions: Waterproof bib under $200

[Kinetic]

Looking to buy a waterproof bib for fishing this year.
I'm 6'4" 215lbs and I'm hoping to spend less than $200.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I got a pair of frog toggs guide bibs that are real comfy. I'd buy them again if that helps you out.

Bought these about a year and a half ago and there holding up better then i thought, stay nice and dry keeps the
wind out to, it's a bit over $200 at Bass pro shop.

Find a river fishing buddy or ask on here for some one with old breathable waders that have sprung a leak in one of the seams (usually happens in the booties) - cut off the neoprene boots and voila, you have awesome waterproof bibs for free. Bonus is most breathable waders have chest pockets and hand warmers designed for fishermen in a wet environment.

Cheers!

The stretch ones do not last compared to the old style. Very comfy yes but don't take the daily abuse of regular use

Make sure what ever you buy it has a slick lining in it or you will be restricted and end of the day you will be burnt out,
a slick lining lets you bend and not get all bunched up, makes a huge difference.

Grundens - they make big sizes

For the past 10 or 15 years all I have worn for deck skins on the troller have been Helly Hansen Impertech.
Lightweight, and stronger than they look.
Usually get two years of work (and play such as hunting) out of each set.

I have the BassPro "Pro Qualifier" jacket AND bib posted by Reeltime. Love it, fits great, moves with my body really well. Lots of great features and is very durable so far;

Expensive, but so much better than what I replaced (Costco Wetskins). I hope to get 10 years out of it.

You can even get a zip in liner ("100MPH") for the jacket to add warmth that is a perfect fit. I might pick it up as well.

I got a pair of Simms Contender Bibs, size L for
sale on here. Gor-Tex.

agree with Damien had the bibs now for 4 years and about 500 days of use no complains only thing I did was put some corrosion block on zippers and the pull tab as no matter what and on any thing near salt water gets a bit crusty from salt.

Stormtech outlet in Burnaby has what you are looking for. They call them Sailing Pants but, you could use them for any expedition.
Usually $50 normal retail over $200. I have been using them for a few seasons now.
PM if you can't get there, I am not far away. Cheers
