Cabelas Gore Tex Bibs

[nAVEL]

Hey Everyone -

Ok, labour day has passed and it's time to start thinking about the upcoming sledding season.

I got stuck in some freezing rain last winter for a couple of long hauls. I have a Gore Tex Yamaha Avalanche jacket (Reima) and its AWESOME but I've got some coldwave pants that left me soggy and freezing. Looking at picking up some Gore Tex bibs without spending a fortune.

I hear Cabelas bibs are good. The problem is they have several Gore Tex models.

Which do you guys use? What's lined? What's appropriate for snowmobiling in the Great White North?

Thanks for your help and it's good to be back in the snowmo mode!

I've worn the Guide Wear rain bibs with thinsulate to about 0f with fleece and longjohns underneath. There was another posting where HONDO was wearing some of it. Links are below for info HONDO sent me.

Don't know about how many different models Cabela's carries but I have some friends who buy them and love them.

I've used my Cabela gortex bibs for 10 years now and they are great. Got my buddies to buy them and they love them also.

Looking at some of the comments on those particular bibs, it appears the front zipper doesn't go down as far as it necessarily needs to when nature calls. Looks like great bibs to keep from getting wet from the outside in...but if the zipper doesn't go down far enough...ya might get wet from the inside out!
