I'm getting ready to purchase a pair of striker ice hard water bibs. I'm about 6'1" tall an about 200 lbs. anyone about the same size wear an extra large pair of bibs or is this to big? I still want full coverage down by my ankles when sitting down and don't. Want them to short and to creep up.  Also ar there any deals out there right now?Thanks in advance

Striker customer service does a great job of helping with that.  Based on the ones I had, you'll most likely need a Large Bibs and in between a large and extra large coat.

I had the Lake Effect Nomads and was slightly heavier than you and slightly shorter.... the cuffs are adjustable, so length won't be an issue....

Call Striker.  They spent a good 20 min answering my questions.

I have the older set with the plastic snaps for the hand towels. I'm 6' 210lbs and I bought a large size. I should have bought a medium. I have the legs shorten all the way and they're still close to the ground. but great bibs I'm on year 4 with mine and the only wear spots I have are at the pant cuffs.

I'm 6ft 175 and large is a bit big. Suspenders could fit a bit more snug for me. I have the climate suit, but I figure they're all probably the same fit.

get a large and whatever bib size fits go one size bigger with coat. I own the climate and love it but my bib straps slide even adjusted and a grundens saltwater bib clip is perfect.....great suit.

I bought size large climate bibs last year (6'0" and 200 lbs.).  The fit is perfect for me.
The older I get, the better I was.

Im 5'11" about 195 lbs. I have medium bibs and coat.    If I was any taller I think my bibs would be tight in the crotch.  My coat fits great, originally got a large one but exchanged it for a medium.

I am 6' 220lbs and I jsut ordered the Ice Armour Clam bibs in a XL and they fit perfectly!

When I am standing upright or bending there is no tugging or pulling in the crotch or knee area!

My vote, go with an XL, plus remeber you'll have layers underneath too.

I'm 6'1" and about 215 lbs. I bought my hard waters in XL and they feel perfect to me. Had to adjust the length in the legs but I can move without feeling constricted. Coat fits great as well.

I'm 6' 3" tall and about 200 lbs. My Striker Predator XL bibs fit great for body room. I chose the XL mainly for the leg length which was just right without having to adjust / shorten from the factory default.

I'm 5' 11", 195+ lbs. 34"waist x 30" inseam, wear size medium Predator bibs. The large bib inseam was too long even with the cuff and shoulder straps adjusted, also the inside of the legs rubbed together while walking. I wear the size XL Predator jacket, purchased the jacket and bibs @ Dick's 30% off end of season sale.

I suggest the XL for a comfy fit. I have the predator line, 6' , 200#, 36 waist x 34" length. The inseam is adjustable if you feel it's a little too long. I wear jeans under them and they are so comfortable that I wear them on cold days in the kayak too.
