Fishing Bib Suggestions

[theswimmer]

Oops, my jacket and my offshore vest are both Henri Lloyd.
When I first bought my jacket it was almost too nice to use fishing , and then I got over it😁

I will also second the HellyHansen recommendation.
I had a Helly shell that for about 10 years went everywhere, from the highest in the Sierra to offshore year round ,
I just couldn't kill it.  Finally gave it to a kid I was sailing with during a race in the winter series off Ventura.
I saw him last year at the tall ship challenge and he was still wearing that damn jacket!

Grundens has a lighter weight, less expensive line of foul weather gear by the name of Grundens Gage. I like my svelte black bibs.

They seem a bit more stylish so for photogenic model types like us, PJ, it's the way to go. (BT will do better sticking with the Herc or Bohuck labels )

Wayne, Dominick, Mante (where are you hiding brother??? , me, Steve (remember what you look like upright, buddy!) and Alan (in his Grunden's).

As I recall it maybe hit 55 that day but was misty and cool in the morning, third week of September on the Bay, and I was actually sweating at one point when sun came out. Dominick lent me a hat because my coconut was getting burned. I didn't think they had sun in the bay and didn't bring one lol.

In that photo of us on the bay I am modeling Helley Hansen bibs.  Funny, looking at the photo there are 5 different bibs evident.  Of course macho Wayne was wearing jeans.  Dominick

Well Thank You Dominick for that comment!

My definition of Macho is a guy who jogs home after a vasectomy!

Tight Lines... FISH ON!

"jogs home after vasec..."

Now there is a M-A-N

Here is my 2 cents,
I am a sensitive guy and I get neck and shoulder pain if I wear suspenders, not sure why,

Winter - I wear weatherproof gerry ski pants I bought from costco for $23, very well made.
for a waterproof layer I use a frogg togg light 2 pieces rain suit, cheap and works very well and I don't get any neck/shoulder pain.

Do these bibs easy off and easy on with bottom of the pant legs opening up like a male stripper pants?

More dumb than macho but I went on a afternoon/evening halibut fishing trip 2 hours after mine.  Even more dumb was having a tooth filled without carbocaine, DO NOT DO THIS!

I,m wondering why one of the five bib guys was holding up more 🐟 fish?   Just saying.  Thanks 🙏
   Bibs definitely will help keep you warm and clean and dry.   You have lots of options, the gore tex stuff is very comfortable and lightweight.  Even lined sometimes.  Kind to your washer and just hang up to dry.
   Zipper legs, Velcro ankle adjustable,  it's my summer time wear,  till the sun comes out which is never it seems.🌦

Go for the Helly for sure. Great for fishing but not for working as you will sweat to death. I wear the 3/4 length duster a lot as it goes down to the top of your boots. I usually have mustang floater bib pants on when its raining with the duster on top. When I used to guide one of my American clients called the Helly pants and jacket the Canadian Tuxedo !

I use the Gage by Grundens to deal with wind and spray.
