Hudson Bib Reviews

Worked perfect

Perfect to size and just enough room under to have decent base layer but not overly bulky while providing perfect water and wind protection

Great looking bibs

These are lightweight and high quality bibs.

Great bib

The Hudson bib is a great piece of gear. I'm 6'4" and weighed 235 pounds. I ordered the XL as well as the XL tall. The XL tall is way too long for me. The XL is a great fit, as the inseam is long enough to cover the boot tops while the XL tall was on the ground. I especially like the kneepads. You can layer up under the bed when it's really cold and still stay warm.

Great bibs

Warm and fit well

Great product and Warranty Repair

Great product and Warranty Repair process!

Best bib I’ve owned yet

I use mine on the bass boat during the winter months up here in north Idaho as well as winter camping. Blows away the competition in all respects. I just wish they made them in Black!

Hudson bibs

Absolutely love them, have worn them most of the season without any problems, gradient pant mixed with the Hudson is an absolute workhorse setup for cold weather. Definitely buying another pair

I fish 40+ weekends a

I fish 40+ weekends a year and these are the best bibs I’ve ever bought. Just wish they offered them in solids like black or gray.

Very Well Made

I'm always looking for quality items, especially when they can make or break a duck hunt. I believe I found that with the Hudson Bibs. I'm 6'4" and a slim 300 lbs. I have more than enough room for layering with XXL. I caught my wife admiring them too, she said that they were very well made.

Favorite Set of Bibs

These bibs are extremely Durable, Comfortable, and Waterproof. Lots of times I feel clothing is sold as waterproof, but is not. I have used these bibs fishing in the Tongass National Rainforest, where it rains every day, all the way to duck hunting Kentucky thunderstorms. They keep everything under them bone dry, they do not get snagged on anything as you make your way through the thorns, and the padding on the knees is great for hitting the dust when your grabbing downed birds, and the next group is cupping into the decoys. Additionally it seems that they do not pick up burs which is a great addition. Overall I would recommend these to every serious duck hunter I know. That being said, do not be fooled, these are not insulated, they are just the most durable and waterproof material you will ever find.

these bibs are not going

these bibs are not going to hold up, i used them at the very end of duck season in louisiana after my sitka waders had failed. The zippers on both legs are garbage, the right leg zipper failed and would not zip all the way after my third use. I finished the season and sent back for repair but was told it was not covered and was wear and tear. If i had used them for more than just a handful of times i would agree but considering how quickly they succumb to 'wear and tear' it simply does not perform as advertised. I'm cutting my losses and not throwing any more good money after a bad product, so if you are thinking you want these, think again!

These bibs are amazing. Thin

These bibs are amazing. Thin enough to be used to layer under waders, but warm enough to be worn by themselves. I wore these in a rain storm in my pants underneath were completely dry.

Great product. I hunt ducks

Great product. I hunt ducks and guide for whitetail. Great wind breaking bib. On a boat or in a blind. also works well putting out decoys with shallow water with rubber boots. you’ll have to layer for cold weather

Obviously this thing was designed

Obviously this thing was designed for early season and field hunts, and it’s perfect for those but they work just as well for crabbing & fishing. But to even further that the Hudson bib also makes good snowboarding bibs, they’re also great for if you’re working or training a dog(s) if it sheds a lot when you’re done you just hang ‘em spray em down and they’re clean again. All around versatile.

The bibs are great. Perfect

The bibs are great. Perfect to wear over base layer and other insulation items!!

Absolutely the best by far

Absolutely the best by far waders on the market. Yes, they aren't cheap but the lifetime warranty makes up for the price.

These are absolutely amazing and

These are absolutely amazing and super warm. I am a female and ordered a size down but will have to order another pair to size up due to the thigh area being a little tight when sitting.

The bibs are great, as

The bibs are great, as is the hudson jacket. Except the zippers on the pant legs are garbage. The first time wearing them in the field, for a 5 day hunt both of the zippers jammed. Another hunter wearing the same gear on that trip had it happen also.

Bibs are amazing, allow zero

Bibs are amazing, allow zero wind to get to you and keeps you warm and dry.

My husband was going on

My husband was going on a hunting trip with his 2 sons and Grandpa in South Dakota, I had to give him his Christmas present early .He could not believe we go him the waders. He was so happy and for the rest of the trip he was warm and could focus on the Memorable trip instead of the cold weather. thanks Sitka!!!!!!

This is my favorite product,

This is my favorite product, I use them almost every hunt have never got wet and the keeps the heat inside. It comes with every pocket you will need and adjustable shoulder straps for more or less room. It is worth the price and you will not regret buying this. Love this product and all the other pieces of sitka I own.

I’ve used several different brands

I’ve used several different brands and products for hunting waterfowl. This year I decided I’d finally try Sitka and purchased the Hudson bib among a couple other layering items. I am very pleased with the Hudson bib. It kept me warm, dry and is comfortable. I was in the elements, kneeling and sitting in snow and in rain. They are easy to maneuver in and durable. The reinforced knees and seat are great to have. The zippers don’t allow water through, are durable and functional. The price has been deterring me for years but ultimately worth it. One thing to note is size. I typically wear an XL however the Hudson bib fits me better in large. Im 5’ 10” and 230. I had a t-shirt, flannel, base layer and the Hudson 3/4 zip hoody on under the bib. By late morning if it wasn’t too cold I was shedding layers. I highly recommend this product.

Highly recommend this product. I

Highly recommend this product. I wear mine for every dry field waterfowl hunt I run. Extremely durable, comfortable, and they keep the elements off of you let you enjoy the hunt.

Every waterfowl hunter needs these

Every waterfowl hunter needs these bibs. They are a deal breaker. Anyone complaining about stuck zippers… wash your bibs out side with a garden hose, air dry and use chap stick or silicone spray on the zippers. I’ve had mine for 4 years and hunt them hard every year. Take care of them and they’ll last!

Amazing product. Maybe a little

Amazing product. Maybe a little expensive but great quality. Highly recommend purchasing them for the long run.

Great Bibs. They are very

Great Bibs. They are very comfortable but the zippers will get stuck after a few hunts. I have returned 2 pairs now and expect to return these mid season again but they take great care of you and ship you a new pair. That's why I only buy SITKA. Just wish those zippers would last.

I love these bibs! Well

I love these bibs! Well thought out! Perfect for hunting out of a layout blind. Hunted ND this past season. Wore a heavy underlayer and bibs. Never got cold. Run a little big. I would go down 1 size than you normally wear.

The website describes these bibs

The website describes these bibs in a different way than they are worn. Online it says 'Utilizing GORE-TEX stretch technology in key areas that typically inhibit movement, the Hudson Bib keeps you absolutely dry while also providing the unencumbered range of motion necessary to get into and out of blinds or deep cover.' As you guys use the words 'absolutely dry': I disagree. Under the 'Why we made these', 'The Hudson delivers maximum mobility and comfort for the unrelenting wet & cold experienced on a full day waterfowl hunt.' I am very unhappy with my purchase of these. I wore these on Friday all day long for an offshore fishing trip. As I sat on the way out into the ocean, I could feel my pants getting soaking wet. I realized that there is a mesh part where the bottom is. This was not said on the website. The website states these are 100% waterproof, and I highly disagree. As I thought about these bibs and how you hunt in them, these are not efficient in waterfowl hunting. When sitting on the ground or a layout blind when it is wet or humid outside, you get wet. I am highly discouraged about my purchase as I read that they will be 100% waterproof and they are not. I feel that the Hudson Bibs are not what they state on the website.

I am a fly fishing

I am a fly fishing guide. I bought these bibs for wind and rain gear and have worn them almost daily for the last 2 weeks since I got them. I’m blown away that there’s no gore-tex on the butt. Rainy day wet boat seats are a no-go. Aside from that significant flaw, they’re almost perfect for what I do. Zipper is sticky but the adjustable straps are great, big pockets and chest pockets great. A solid color option would be cool too.

The best hunting bibs I

The best hunting bibs I have ever bought. I have used them for hunting In snow, ice, mud, and mash and they have always kept me warm and dry.

They’re pretty durable and will

They’re pretty durable and will keep your legs dry, and really keep out the wind. The knee pads are a great addition to a waterfowler’s bibs. I didn’t think much of it until I wore them for the first time, and it makes for a much more pleasant hunt when you climbing in and out of layout blinds and packing up decoys, etc. You use them a lot more than you think! The set it and forget it straps are very comfortable, and the fit is nice. I’m 5’9” and 150lbs and the medium is a perfect fit with room to spare and could let out the shoulder straps a lot. I just wish the fleece liner went down to or just below the knee to add a little warmth to them. Also while I have not had any problems with the leg zippers it would be nice to have the larger lugged zipper like what is on the torso down the legs rather than the small ones they have.

Tanner, Whit and Danielle are

Tanner, Whit and Danielle are awesome folks to work with and very helpful with any questions that I had about these bibs. The customer service at Sitka is fantastic and the gear did not disappoint.

Warmth, amazing. Quality of material,

Warmth, amazing. Quality of material, amazing. The reason I gave these bibs 3 stars is because of the zipper. Its a terrible design and after a few hunts they are completely destroyed and don't operate correctly. Granted I hunt a lot of mud and salt marsh type of environments and I hunt hard. I take care of my stuff though and I've never had an issue with any other garment or any equipment due to lack of care. This was very upsetting for me. Fix the zippers and these bibs are the best I've ever had. I ordered the new Hudson Aerolite Bibs; hopefully those zippers will last longer.

Just got these today and

Just got these today and man are they ever nice, super high quality. Love the adjustment on the suspenders and also lots of pockets. I am 6’ 6” and got a large tall and they seem to fit perfect. I intend to wear with my Delta jacket and I also own the Hudson jacket in different camo which I will wear with my waders. It’s worth spending the money and buying good quality apparel it sucks to be cold and wet; Sitka is simply the best.

I have now hunted two

I have now hunted two seasons in eastern Washington corn fields with these and couldn't be happier. They have held up to everything thrown at them and show very little to no wear. They work great whether it's the early part of the season or during snow storms in December and January. I have always stayed dry and just add layers depending on the temperatures expected. I am one that had a hard time with the price but had to try them, they are worth the money.

Just took them out of

Just took them out of the box. Couldn’t be happier! I did a ton of research on these and from what I can tell the wind and rain stand no chance with these bad boys! These are definitely it for warmth but you will need to layer underneath. I purchased the Gradient Pants to go under these and they fit perfect. I am 6’1” 230lbs (36” waist) I got size Large and they fit perfect.

These are amazing. Block all

These are amazing. Block all wind and rain. Have a little stretch to them and are easy to move in. Knee pads and “aviator” pockets on the thighs are the two best features I never knew I wanted. An absolute must buy.

Purchased these this last summer

Purchased these this last summer when my size came back in stock. I am not a waterfowl hunter, rather I hunt mountain lion, bobcat and coyotes in the winter months along with guiding big game hunts throughout the fall. I have always looked for a non insulated TOUGH waterproof pair of bibs. I have had several pairs that kind of work out and generally get one maybe two seasons out of them; decided to give these a try. As far as tough, these things are amazing. The materials used can withstand any kind of brush and abuse. The fit is awesome. I am 6'3' and the tall size is great. The integrated knee pads are a great idea. These bibs are by far my new favorite piece of gear and without a doubt would purchase these again.

These bibs are great while

These bibs are great while training retrievers in the cooler months. Tough and durable for day to day use. Wind and water resistant makes them a go too for the ever changing Texas weather. Great for rainy days as well. They stay on my dog truck at all times.

This is my absolute favorite

This is my absolute favorite piece of sitka gear. You can wear them when it’s 60° out of when it’s -20° and they will not be too hot and will keep you warm with a pair of long underwear and pants under either. They’re also waterproof, and have tons of pockets in the right places. I’d highly recommend them to anyone who hunts dry fields.

Go to piece of waterfowl

Go to piece of waterfowl gear no matter the temps. Goretex holds up well, stretch material in all the right places, so when youre sitting in a blind all day, its about as comfortable as it can be. never had water come through the seams in rain or dew in the mornings. The built in knee pads are great. Plenty of room to add layers underneath, but slim enough that early season hunts in just baselayers works great. My only recommendation is some way to cinch down the boot cuff so its tighter

I recently received my Hudson

I recently received my Hudson Bibs and I CAN'T WAIT to use them in the field. I have an entire waterfowl system plus some and haven't been this excited about a piece of gear since testing the DWJ late season diver hunting in the worse conditions. (Also highly recommend) The only thing I can say is, definitely get a size smaller than what you would normally get. Almost all my pieces are XL and a few XXL but I was swimming in the XL bibs. (I'm 6'1 / 210lbs Athletic build) The Large fit absolutely perfect and I will have room to layer. Pull the trigger and get these, hope this helps the next buyer!!

I have yet to field

I have yet to field test them but I love them already. Layers great with the Gradient pants as well but what shocked me the most was that I’m normally a large in Sitka pants, but I ordered the medium tall and I’m 5’10 - 180 and they fit perfect. They’re cut great up top with room for a sweatshirt on under and the legs got enough room for layering. You know it’s a great product when you haven’t even hunted in it yet and you love it already. Killer!

Great Product! Very high quality

Great Product! Very high quality fabric. Can't go wrong with this. Heads up on the sizing. Sitka Products are very fitted. Buy up at least 2 sizes, if you are a big guy or you have some love handles around your middle. Some guys will not be able to fit into Sitka, even at a 3X. I am buying a XXL and it fits me like a glove, but may have to go to a XXXL to just be able to layer another hoodie or something like that. Can't go wrong buying their product. You won't regret it.

These bibs are worth every

These bibs are worth every penny. You stay very comfortable while either riding on a quad in freezing temps or while laying in a goose blind. The built in knee pads are the best part of the bibs because it allows me to duck into my smaller enclosed trailer to pull out the decoys without hurting my knees. If you're on the fence, just buy them...you'll be very happy you did.

Leak like the titanic.

Leak like the titanic.

Wore these in North Dakota

Wore these in North Dakota for the first time. Just like everything Sitka quality is amazing. Knee pads add a ton of extra comfort when kneeling on frozen ground. Not insulated but still kept me warm in freezing temps w long johns and sweat pants underneath. I’m 6’3 195 and the LT fit me perfectly

Last comment blocked. Save your money. Leak like a sieve. Soaked at knee joint and zipper. Very disappointing. I expect way more.

I’m 6’4”, 245 lbs. The

I’m 6’4”, 245 lbs. The XLT fits perfectly, plenty of length, with just enough room for layering if needed. These bibs defy cold, wind and rain. I wear them under my Hudson jacket, or over my Gradient jacket. I just love them! Another great product.

These bibs are great! Only

These bibs are great! Only problem I had was sizing. I wear a XXL in everything Sitka. I’m 6’2” 260lb. Pretty large corn fed fella and the XXL were a little baggy on me. Had to exchange for XL.
