The best waterfowl pant/bib I've ever worn, especially if hunting layout blinds in the winter. The first time I wore these (along with the Layout Jacket) we hunted water and laid out on a frozen lake shore. The temps were in the single digit with a -20 windchill and it was blowing snow. Due to not having much cover we used our blind bags for back rests and laid directly on the ground. Half way through the hunt some of our group had punted and returned to the pickups. I was dry and warm for the duration. Did have one leg zipper blow out. A call to Customer Service and a new pair were on the way. When you marry Sitka's quality with their customer service you have an unbeatable product.

By far the best bib my team and I have ever worn. We hunt 60-90 days a year and the layout bib has performed flawlessly in any situation we put it through.

I really, really like certain aspects of these pants. The reinforced knees/cuffs/butt are outstanding. I wasn't sure I would like the kneepads, and know find them awesome when brushing blinds, tweaking decoys, etc. The insulated/padded seat is also terrific,. With that said, I purchased these as a potential replacement for some bibs, and found myself really missing the front of the bibs I have grown accustomed to. I could never get used to the lack of coverage from the chest to roughly the waist. Also, it seems the cut of this garment constantly interfered with my upper body layers, creating an uncomfortable bunching of material about at the navel. Soo, great product if it is truly pants you desire while hunting, but I can't recommend as a bib substitute/replacement. I would love to see the features of the layout pant incorporated into future bib designs, that would be a real walk off home run in my opinion. Also, I do not understand what the purpose the belt loops serve on this piece, folks that wear suspenders and belts always make me nervous!
