I just got my Nomad bibs in the mail a few days ago. I wanted something that would not be quite as warm as my Hardwater bibs for fishing later in the season when the weather is not quite as cold. However, the Nomads seem like they could certainly be worn even in very cold temps. I was surprised how durable the material is. It appears to be only somewhat lighter than my Hardwater bibs. As Algae had already mentioned, not too much different than the Predators besides no chest pocket, no elastic on the sides, and saving around $70.00!
