Does anyone have a Bib or Cover-All option?

[KMBH]

I hunt almost exclusively in quick dry nylon hiking pants. I have also recently used a set of Cabela's cotton/poly bibs I picked up cheap. The cotton/poly does not manage moisture well, but bibs are so much more comfortable when wearing a pack (less rub, no pants falling, no cold air draft, hip openings for ventilation). Does anyone know of a good nylon (or other) bib or coverall made for the hunting market? I have searched the posts here. I have also seen where some in the UL backpacking community have posted similar interest, but it seems interest is limited. I have tried different belt and suspender configurations for backpacking and wildland firefighting. Nothing has really felt great (or even good) so far. I use bibs almost exclusively for cycling.

Picked up Sitka fanatic lite bibs that came out this year. I personally think they're fairly warm, despite the name, but way super comfortable softshell bibs. I offset the warmishness with a lighter than normal upper . The only thing is, Sitka has a horrible factory DWR, so get them, try them on, then wash in tech wash, spray with revivex while wet, and dry on high. Then they're simply incredible.

I just came into the clothing forum to ask this same thing. Hadn't seen the Sitka version yet, but I saw on Black Ovis that Badlands came out with a Thinsulate ultra light bib that weighs a claimed 1.5#. Was thinking that if they were packable they might be a viable option.

Thank you for the replies. I am looking for something for warm weather that I could layer under when cooler.

I'm not finding any in a true earth tone, but Marmot makes the Roscoe Bib in a grayish color. Not sure if this is closer to what you're looking for or not, they claim to be very breathable and cut to layer underneath, and have inseam vents to dump heat.
