SIMMS CHALLENGER INSULATED BIB BLACK

The Simms Challenger Insulated Bib is designed for fishing in cold and wet weather. Fully taped seams and waterproof, breathable 2-layer fabric help keep you dry, while PrimaLoft® Rise insulation provides dependable warmth without unnecessary bulk. The legs feature 100g insulation and the upper body has 80g insulation for balanced protection.

Abrasion-resistant panels reinforce the seat, knees and lower legs, protecting areas exposed to the most wear. Adjustable suspenders feature a cushioned air-mesh harness for added comfort, while the high-back panel provides extra insulated waterproof coverage.

The centre-front YKK Vislon zipper is protected by a waterproof storm flap to help keep rain and snow out. Brushed tricot-lined hand-warmer pockets, a vertical chest pocket with a YKK Aquaguard zipper and spacious thigh pockets provide convenient storage. The thigh pocket also includes a reinforced plier sheath. Wide belt loops and a D-ring allow you to attach a kill switch clip.

Thigh-high, two-way side zippers make the bibs easy to put on and take off over boots. Adjustable cuff closures help seal out water, while removable knee pads provide additional protection. Interior gaiter cuffs at the lower legs help keep water and snow out of your boots.
