N-Ferno Unisex Adult Thermal Bib Overalls

These bibs are solid. I wear them ice fishing, and they keep me warm all day. Knee pads came in clutch when I have to kneel to drill holes—don’t even feel the ice. Good fit, tough material. Great for outdoor work.

I previously tried the Ergodyne Lime GloWear insulated overalls. I believe that they would've held up okay in a less demanding setting but my work just put too much wear and tear on them and within a year they were falling apart. I decided to give the 6471 heavy duty N-ferno bibs a shot and I'm very glad that I did. I've worked in them all winter and they are still nearly new in appearance. It is very easy to pull them on or off over boots. A nice touch added at the bottom leg opening is a hook and loop ankle cuff that ensures the overall leg won't ride up as you are moving about. Removable knee pads are a game changer for anyone that spends even a few moments of their day working on the knees. The shoulder straps are easy to adjust and will not slip off the shoulder. I like that the pockets are zippered to ensure there is no chance of loosing the contents. A word of caution to anyone looking a these bibs for use in conditions above 40 degrees Fahrenheit: don't! These are designed so well and retain body heat like no cold weather clothing I've ever tried before. Any time the temperature rises above 40ish degrees I end up shedding them. If I don't I begin to sweat!. In temps 40 or below these serve quite nicely. Lastly, I like that I can be seen in low light conditions without blinding my coworkers in well lit areas. The Hi Vis accents are small and inconspicuous but it's enough to let others know you're there in the dark. I fully expect these rugged bibs to last at least another winter and possibly longer. I highly recommend them to anyone.

Living in the upper Midwest we have certain things that we can choose and equipment is one of them. What we can't choose is what mother nature is going to throw at us from November until April. I still have a pair of Ergodyne's original bibs. They have lasted that long. It might have been 2010 when I originally started wearing them. I was able to finally use their new bibs and noticed QUITE a few upgrades. First the Nylon outwear is noticeably heavier. You can feel the weight, which equates to more protection and more rugged performance. I also noticed the snaps and zippers. The zippers lost the small rubber block that you walked on and added the snap to keep the inside liner where it needs to be. They added more reflective accents to make sure you are scene. In the north, we work hard and play harder in the winter. It is way easier to enjoy the outdoors with great equipment. Ergodyne continues to produce high quality products that are battle tested and last a very long time. Don't stop at the bibs, they offer a full layering system to keep you warm and comfortable in extreme weather.
