Looking for new bibs for sitting during PA rifle season. My current Cabelas brand have a few downsides that I would like to change:
1. Legs only zip to knee. Difficult to fit my size 14 boots through when I get to my stand.
2. Chest zipper is only 1 way. Can't take leak without having to pull top layers up to find zipper to pull down.

What brands do you find are lightweight, warm, packable, and waterproof?

Probably 2x tall sizing

A desk, truck, stand and blind in BC
I really like the Kryptek Aegis system. I have hunted in the bibs for the past 9 years and have no complaints. Two way fly, three way side zippers to help both vent heat and get my big boots off and on. Water and wind proof, comfortable and so far well made! I ground hunt out of a blind in northern BC. and have used these bibs down to -25C with heavy weight long underwear and been comfortable and warm.

Cheers

I've got a pair of cabelas bibs that I love. Full length leg zips to the thigh and 2 way chest zipper.

Look at Mountaineering or alpine ski gear bibs vrs hunting. Arctyrex is my go to for all day on the mountains. The only down side is noise. Check out web site Gear Lab and see how they test and recommend.

Are you trying to pull them over your head?

I put them on after hiking to my stand. Difficult to work my size 14 boots through the legs when they only unzip to knee.

I can tell you from experience unless they added a windproof liner. The kuiu proximity are not windproof at all. Froze to death in those things
