I was wondering who here has a set of these Extremes bibs? http://www.carhartt.com/webapp/wcs/s...tegoryId=10908
I am in the market for a new set of bibs because i have out grown mine, i mean they have gotten smaller, yea thats it I am a pansy in the cold, i hate being cold and i work outside all day long for the highway department. I was wondering how warm are these? or are they too warm? Just looking for some opinions

The red insulated (used to be called "arctic") ones were always fine for me. Along with long johns, jeans and double sock of course!

I'm not fimiliar with any Extreme line.

 

OOPS! i forgot to post the website http://www.carhartt.com/webapp/wcs/s...tegoryId=10908

here it is

 

for me they are fine if you are working an open air machine, any amount of walking and I gotta uzip legs and jacket to kep from sweating like crazy.... as for your line of work it depends on how mobile you are..... lotsa breaks and more truck time than outside you should be fine

 

My bad, the Arctic are the Black lined, the regular quilted ones are red inside.

I think these are different on account of the front zipper.
Might be easier for some guys to get into

 

I have a black set of the arctic extreme bibs and coat. Man they are warm. Pretty well waterproof, wind proof, and did I mention warm.

I just bought one of these the other day and I like it too.

Aweosme to hear guys, thanks for the info. keep it coming
Glad to hear they are pretty well waterproofed as i do a lot of snow detail. I hate kneeling down and getting instant wet knees from soaked through bibs.

 

I've never knelt in snow but rode a motorcycle in cold rain in them plenty. I bet you'll be happy with them. I had to order mine from some place up north a few years back when I got them because nobody in the south carried the arctic line. Sure is nice to be able to still buy a good made in USA coat.

 

yea i called my local place and he does not carry them he will have to order, but he has a good sale going on right now so hopefulle i will get a nice deal.

 

I have a set that have the black lineing wow the are fine for runnin the open air equipment but to hot for closed equipment or walking much.

 

how's the flexibility on these bibs? comfortable to move around, bend down etc...???

 

I've got a pair with the black lining, and they are wicked warm. I wear them all the time in the winter. I use them making snow, skiing(when it is -20 or more), hunting, working outside. The are great pants and real warm. Wouldn't be anywere with out a set of carhartts. They usto make a pair of zip to knee pants with the red lining that are real nice to when you want wormth but not a set of bibs.

i've had a couple pair with the red lining, just looking for somthing different and a little warmer. plus i love bibs that zip to the waist. makes it extremely easy to put on with a set of boots on

 

I actually saw a couple pair's of em in Tractor supply when looking for the regular insulated ones. They were like $120 if my memory serves me correctly. It was at the Tractor Supply off Montgomery road so it aint too far from you Horsehauler.

 

Thanks for the info. Cahall's workwear in Mt. Orab has some nice sales on carhartts and other brands up to 70% off plus 10% with a card i got in the mail. I'm not sure how much of the 70% he is giving with carhartt but if its more than that i will deffinately take a look at TSC
