I am sure glad I read on here about bibs. After two days of reading here is my impression: AA is garbage, Frabil are ok and Striker are the way to go. I went to Gander Mtn today as I had $200 in gift cards for there. My wife did not like the quality of the AA even before we got there. She almost purchased a suit for Christmas for me but decided I should go pick them out. The Frabill Ice Suit large bibs fit nice but the jackets did not and was not willing to spend the money for just bibs after reading what I have on here.
I learned that just down the road from me, a store named Korkys has Striker. I see there are the Striker Ice Bibs (floating) and Strkier LITE Bibs (floating). I have bee using a cheapie pair of snow pants for years that kept me warm enough, but downfalls; knees and butt get wet, I got skinnier so waist not fit well, get cold air and snow up back...etc.
After looking at the regular vs. Lite, I would think the Lite should be just fine. Who has regular and who has Lite versions, what conditions do you wear them in, and do you get hot/cold?
