Love these bibs!
Very comfortable bibs that are well designed. Easy to get on and off and breathable, especially compared to other brands/styles. The pockets are great and the zip/velcro on the legs makes it easier to get them on/off and around your boots.

Nice product
I liked the bibs but the size was way too big. I ended up returning the item due to it being sized for Sasquatch.

Best Bibs On The Market!
The Challenger Bibs are the dryest, most comfortable bibs I’ve ever worn. The front zipper is a game changer. Simms makes the best!

Fantastic product for the price!
As a professional guide, I spend over 100 days annually on the water. Ive tried more than a few different rain gear systems from a variety of manufacturers. These bibs are phenomenal for the price point. They have kept me dry during major deluges (or mostly dry. . . I dont think anything can compete with 5 inches of rain in 1 hour). I will say proper care in cleaning and storage is essential. Taking the time to properly clean and treat these has meant they have lasted through a full season and continued to function like the day I received them.

Great All Around Bibs
Great bibs, semi insulated enough so I am using them for winter field work in the mid Atlantic on top of our winter striped bass fishing. Just a lil snug around the waist

Challenger bibs
Run slightly small in the body for bibs intended to wear over layers. The XL was WAY too big

Excellent product
10/10 bib for the price. Breathable yet very waterproof. Keeps the fish slime off my clothes, and keeps me warm and dry this time of year.
