Hunting Bibs

[shawn heggen]

I am looking for a set of Gortex or saddlecloth bibs that are not insulated or very low insulation. I live in AZ and need to have a lightweight waterproof set. I am looking or Shadow grass. Anyone have any opinions or places to look. I have tried all the regular avenues with no match on what I want. Thanks for the help

Shawn,

Columbia makes some Omni Quad pants that are water and wind proof. I wear them in the early season up here, before it gets cold. Then I change over to insulated bibs. You could probably wear the pants all season long in AZ. If I'm not mistaken, they are available in shadow grass and either advantage wetlands or max-4.

Mikes right Shawn. I also have a pair and they work well for what your talking about. Mike I know I'm further south than you, but I can't even fathom killin ducks in Arizona!! How was the snow fall this winter?

Travis,

We had more snow this year than last year. The temps are just starting to break the freezing mark these days. If it gets warm fast, there will be great run off. If it stays cool and we have a slow melt, the ground will suck up most of the moisture.

Ducks in Arizon! Hard to imagine considering most years ducks stay up here year round. However, that's what makes this sport so interesting. Different places to hunt and different tactics for each area....and when the dust settles we're all waterfolwers!

I use all columbia clothing, I love the delta hunter pattern why they aren't going to make it anymroe is beyond me but...I have the pants and the bibs both are super in water resistance ( until you get to close to the heater in the pit and burn a hole in um :rolleyes: :D ) best out there in my book !! :D
Mike check your PM's ;)
