Description
The Savage Gear “WP Performance Bib and Brace” in Gunmetal is an essential garment for anglers who spend extended time in wet, cold, and challenging conditions. It is an enhanced version of the traditional waterproof trouser, offering higher coverage and better protection from the elements. The “Bib and Brace” design, which includes a chest and back panel with suspenders, ensures a more secure and insulated fit, making it ideal for boating, bank fishing, and other outdoor activities where maximum weather resistance is required.
General Description
The Savage Gear WP Performance Bib and Brace is a technical and durable set of waterproof overalls. They are designed to be paired with the WP Performance Jacket to create a complete, head-to-toe waterproof outfit. The Gunmetal color is a practical and sleek dark gray that hides dirt and matches well with other gear. The bib and brace style provides superior warmth and protection by preventing water ingress from the waist and offering an extra layer of insulation for the torso.
Key Features
- High Waterproof Rating: Like the other items in the WP Performance range, these bibs have a waterproof rating of 10,000mm. This ensures they can handle heavy rain, spray, and sitting on wet surfaces without allowing water to penetrate.
- Excellent Breathability: A breathability rating of 5,000mvp allows moisture vapor (sweat) to escape, keeping the wearer from feeling clammy and uncomfortable during physical exertion.
- Durable Fabric and Construction: Made from 100% nylon Taslon fabric with a PU coating, these bibs are built to withstand the rigors of fishing and outdoor use. The material is tough, and the coating provides the waterproofing.
- Reinforced High-Wear Areas: For maximum durability, the knees, backside, and lower legs are reinforced. This is a critical feature for anglers who often kneel on rough surfaces or sit on a boat deck.
- Adjustable and Secure Fit: The bibs feature elasticated and adjustable suspenders with strong buckles for a secure and comfortable fit over a base or mid-layer. The waist is also adjustable, and the cuffs at the bottom of the legs have long zippers and velcro straps, making it easy to put the bibs on or take them off over boots.
- Functional Zippers and Pockets:
- Long 2-Way Front Zip: A long, two-way zipper on the front makes it easy to get in and out of the bibs and provides convenient access to inner layers.
- Pockets with Water-Repellent Zippers: Pockets are strategically placed and feature water-repellent zippers to keep essential items like phones, keys, or tackle dry. Some versions may also have fleece-lined pockets for hand-warming.
- Safety Features: The bib and brace includes reflex printing on the legs, which enhances visibility in low-light conditions, adding a crucial safety element.
