Bibs and Parka
druthrbfishn:
I have a nearly new Carhart Artic coat and bibs but think the floatation feature might be nice. Would either the floatation bibs or coat alone keep someone afloat? Someone mentioned a life jacket but that would be bulky. Any other ideas?

Bibs first ...as you will always wear the bibs ...most folks just wear a good hoodie for the top outer layer most days ...the parka get use on windy/brutal days .
hard to beat this ..100g insulation ...but if you tend to get cold or fish in a really cold area going to 150g of insulation is a good idea

That looks like a great price on this clothing. Is there a test or industry standard to verify the buoyancy of this type of clothing?

Not that I am aware of ..YouTube has a lot of product and user videos on most of the makes and model ..sizing seems to be pretty standard for all manufacturers ...if you can find a retailer local that the best way to know your size/fit ...on line is the best place to buy for a deal the most part .

X2 on getting bibs first. Mine are Rise by Clam. I have no complaints.
