Best bibs for October mid November bow

[SWEDE]

Looking for mid season bibs. Some too heavy some no front zip some not wind waterproof. All have 1 deal breaker none seem to have it all. Need to stay under 200 bucks

Interested to see the responses. I have not found any great light/early season bibs. For late season my First Light and Sitka are top notch.

Not alot of good waterproof bibs (or any gear) that are also good when it's not raining. Water resistant, yes. Waterproof gear that is wearable any day of the week weather wise probably isn't ideal in my experience.

In the less than 200 space, i might stick to store brands or big box retailers so you have exchange capabilities on shorter notice. Predator gear might be an option as would nomad? Just not sure if it fits waterproof. That is a hard nut to crack.

Sitka is way out of range price wise for 200.

Not sure about price point since they haven't actually launched the bibs yet......but checkout skre gear. I spoke with the owners and they said to look for bibs this fall.

That first light is priced right. Too heavy for October?

Sitka stratus is ideal.   Maybe a used set in that range.  I don’t even hesitate to wear them in rain.

Save up and get some Sitka . Price is forgotten when quality is remembered .

I have a set of lined Carhartt bibs in camo similar to those pictured below that I wore many years Coon hunting, they are warm and tough to be sure and about perfect for the temps in October and November.

I would save up for the sitka Stratus bibs, they're my favorite. Either save up or look for a used  pair. Well worth the money...

The used go for damn near as much as new.

I've worn unlined Cabelas waterproof, scent protect bibs for years from mid-October through December. Soft outer so they're quiet. It looks like since Bass Pro took over the make has changed, but they do have Squaltex bibs on closeout now for <$50, if you're a small or a 2x. 

Simms Challenger and Grunden Weatherwatch are both sub-200 bibs, too. I don't know how noisy they are though.
