    Tournament bibs. Good ones! Help

    I'm shopping for new tournament bibs. Been looking for a good set with one really helpful feature. I don't want to have to take them off to take a leak!!!! Just bought the Simms prodry and they have an awkward zipper and a piece of fabric in the way of things when it's time. Anybody have a brand that doesn't require a full removal to piss.

    I have the Simms Challenger and have been happy with them. I’d be checking out the Carhartt Shoreline if I was buying now.

    I've got a set of Cabela's Pro Series Guidewear, bibs and parka, that I bought about 10 years ago. These things are great, have never leaked, and have a full zipper in the front for easy access.

    Take your pro dry to a zipper repair shop and ask them to turn the main outer layer zipper into a two-direction zipper and ask them to add a waterproof 2-way zipper in the crotch. That’s what I did with mine and now I have quick access to relief. I “borrowed” a pair of the new 100 mph bibs to show the zipper repair shop what I wanted. You could also just take video or pictures to show them.

    Cost me $80
