Technology
Why We Made This
We saw the need for a late-season bib that could withstand cold days sitting in the stand while providing the most advanced visual and auditory concealment. Our approach was to design a bib that would protect you from not just the cold but the wind, while minimizing the noise created from layers of gear. Working with animal scientists and ungulate specialists and using controlled laboratory tests, we developed the warmest, quietest bib on the planet by utilizing a GORE-TEX INFINIUM with WINDSTOPPER® barrier sandwiched between Berber fleece face fabric and Primaloft® SIlver insulation. This updated fabric package is half the audible engagement distance as compared to our previous Fanatic line. Additionally, we incorporated compression-resistant insulation in the seat to create a shield from vital heat loss.

I love everything about the fanatic bibs except the elastic shoulder straps. I didn't realize they would get destroyed by the ozonics ozone generator. Not a good day for me. If you don't use ozone then the straps are awesome.
Bibs are great and I'll give them a four star only because I wish that they put a little more insulation in the lower leg area, and they didn't put a pocket at the top of the bib for like 'phone- map'- etc'
These bibs are EXACTLY what you need for the cold weather hunts. Pockets, zippers, even the suspender straps are perfect. I am a total obsessive person. I am always looking for a way to cut things out that aren't needed. These bibs ave allowed my wife and I to get rid of unwanted bulk layers. While also keeping us WARM. The pockets are PERFECT. With the exception of thr rage finder grunt tube pocket (On the jacket). Some attention needs to be put in there. The bibs do get wet, yet still managed to keep me quite warm in 27 degree weather and high wind. I would definetly recommend to my friends and family.
I have a question.. How are these in the rain? I’m waffling between this or the incinerator and can’t make up my mind
The fanatic bibs... Wear do I start with these babies. Being a freeze baby in ne Ohio I get cold easily. But I like to hunt a lot. So far this year the low has been 18 and wearing my heavyweight bottoms, stratus pants and these bibs, my lower half has not even gotten a chill. Super quiet, soft, pockets, I even asked my wife if they made my butt look big and she said no. Lol. Yes they are expensive, but yes they work. But don't make the mistake of thinking I'll just buy the bibs and coat and be warm... It's the whole system that works together to keep your warm. Also whatever size pants you wear in the ews, or stratus, or whatever... Continue with that same size as you proceed to the next layer. Sitka has taken that into consideration. When I'm all layered up, everything fits perfectly. But if I just put on the bibs or coat without the layers, they're big on me. If you want to hunt longer into the season, and you can afford it. Do it. I've never done a review before, but after getting thus whole system, I was so pleased that my wife said I needed to let other people know as well.
These bibs are phenomenal. They're warm and quiet. Spacious, but not baggy. if you could ever want a pocket, its there. Absolutely love them for cold sits in the saddle
The nicest piece of hunting apparel you will ever own. Yes Sitka gear is more expensive but it is seriously that much better; ever little detail is thought of. I am 6’6” 200 pounds and ordered an XL and was swimming in it, hassle free exchange for a large tall and that was perfect. I have fanatic bibs, coat, and hat and love them all!

Beyond the Layers - Athlete Jim Hole Jr.
In the deep winter freeze of the Alberta Bowzone, where late November temps can reach -40F, there are two considerations legendary whitetail outfitter and SITKA Athlete Jim Hole, Jr. prioritizes: keeping warm and completely silent to mimic the stealth and patience of an owl perched in a tree.

These were the first quality late season camo hunting bibs I had ever purchased. They kept me warm in the stand and gave me enough warmth to bag a late season buck with my bow last November. They do seem a little bulky. The biggest drawback I noticed is that they are so warm that you either have to pack them out to the stand or have the side zippers fully open if it's really cold to prevent from sweating. I do like the zippered legs for venting/heat regulation. Overall, a great product that is very quiet and keeps you in the stand longer during frigid northern WI winters.
Absolutely the quietest and warmest bibs I’ve ever owned. Especially like that the insulation doesn’t go all the way down the leg so they tuck inside my rubber boots easily.
Absolutely outstanding Bibs for Late season and extremely cold environments! I used these fanatic bibs during the Pa late deer season in 20 ° temperatures and was super warm! The bib type keeps my lower back area warm which in turn keeps my core warm. I highly recommend these Bibs for extreme temperatures below freezing! Pockets are well placed and useful!! Elevated II pattern kept me invisible to deer while on stand from a leafless elevated position!!
Excellent option for when the bitter temperatures hit. Side zippers extend all the way to the hips to make on/off hassle-free. Extremely quiet and provide excellent warmth on stand. Plenty of pockets to hold hunting necessities.
