Looking for a bib recommendation. I’d use them for hunting Coyote, waterfowl, and limited whitetail hunting when temps are in the low teens primarily in Colorado so wind blocking will be a priority.

I like the idea of the stratus, but they may be too light. Solitude seems to have mixed reviews in regard to wind blocking.

Is fanatic too bulky?
Is Hudson too noisy or light?

I also get a good discount on Sitka so leaning towards them, but am open to others. Appreciate all input in advance.
 
I have both the Stratus and the Fanatic. In my opinion, the Stratus would not have enough insulation for temps in the teens unless heavily layered. The Fanatic is bulky but doable. To give an idea I hunted northern Wisconsin this weekend (tree stand sits). Was using Stratus with a long underwear and insulated pant underneath until the temps hit 30 degrees today. Today I used the fanatic with just long underwear and jeans underneath. Just beware you won't be walking far in the Fanatic.
 
Just got a pair of the Hudson bibs. Haven’t used them yet, but I would say they’re definitely not too light and they seem durable. They do make some noise as with any of the heavy goretex stuff but I wouldn’t say they’re overly noisy. I’m pretty impressed with them.
