You are in the mountains and over the hills, crossing rivers, beaver dams, and all kinds of rough terrain. When you are in the thick of the hunt, the last thing you need to worry about is the thick of the terrain.
Briar-proof bibs protect you from all the thorns, brush, and briars you will undoubtedly come across on your way. However, not all bibs are created equal. You need gear that is as rugged as it is comfortable.
Why Use Briar-Proof Bibs?
"Briar-proof" refers to the top quality, American-made materials and crafting that go into the highly durable hunting bibs. At Stone Creek, we make our bibs with a specially made 420 denier nylon material, the same nylon used in Wick Outdoor Works. The special nylon is woven tight, keeping you unscathed as you pass through thick briars.
Buying Guide: What To Look For in Briar-Proof Bibs
Durability
The American-made 420 denier nylon thread is double stitched and weaved tight so the rain beads up and runs off. Our Tuff-n-Dry Bibs also come guaranteed with a lifetime warranty for the heavy-duty leg and fly zippers. Skip the snag and grab of mother nature and combine your bibs with a briar-proof hoodie or jacket for full body coverage.
Comfort
Stay rough and ready without dragging around the extra weight due to the use of 420 denier nylon, a lightweight material that helps keep the bibs breathable and bendable as you navigate the landscape. The bibs also slip and slide without binding your legs, meaning there is no chaffing, rubbing, or blistering! As an extra layer, it is also a must-have to keep you warm on those cold and windy days so you can hunt longer.
Easy to wear and remove
You will wear your bibs over other clothes, so we recommend a pair with leg zippers. These are going to help you get the bibs on and off and can also help regulate airflow. Make your day more manageable with adjustable elastic shoulder straps, metal fasteners, and a brass button-side fastener so you can quickly wear and remove them.
Waterproof
You should not stop at the moisture-wicking exterior of your bibs; these bristle-busters should also be equipped with a waist-down, lightweight inner waterproof liner so you can stay dry, warm, and unmarked all at the same time. Additional features like this mean it will not matter if the creek rises; you will stay dry.
Plenty of storage
Can you ever have too many pockets? Our Tuff n Dry Bibs have a roomy chest cargo pocket with velcro closure, two side pockets, and two back pockets. Feel secure with the velcro, giving you a tight seal you won't find with snap closure pockets. Use your storage options for ammo, snacks, and anything else you might need. When you are on the move, you will appreciate the positioning of the pockets to keep your belongings safe and dry.
Size guide
Along with finding the best product features of bibs, you need to know how to get the right size. If you go too big, you will have bulky bibs, and it will be hard to move around. If you go too small, you will not get the full benefits of the flexible, movement-optimized design.
Adjustable elastic shoulder straps can help, but consult the site's sizing chart and sizing info to get the perfect fit. Remember you will wear your bibs over other clothes, and you will have the additional layer, without the added bulk of an insulated liner.
When you buy our Tuff n Dry Bibs, remember these tips for choosing the right size:
For the sizing chart: Measure your belly and add 2-4 inches
For size lengths: Subtract 2-3 inches from your regular pant inseam length. Alternatively, you can measure the distance from your crotch to the ball of your ankle.
