SKRE Hardscarbble Bibs vs Stika Fantastic Lite Bibs

[realunlucky]

Ok whitetail hunting right now so will clean up and post pictures when I get a chance.

Bibs have similar cut but some notable feature differences.

 

[realunlucky]

On the shoulder straps SKRE used a D Loop buckle and tensioner

Sitka uses a G Hook and velcro on the front of the straps to tension

Straps themselves are of similar size and stretch material

Hardscarbble bibs have a fleece backed material similar to the Kodiak pant.

Stika uses a heavier grid fleece.

The fantastic lite were slightly warmer.

Hardscarbble bibs have a full zippered leg on one and 7/8 on other. This all easier removal when wearing boots.

Stika is standard bib design with 7/8 on both sides. I do have some huge 1800 gram rubber boots and don't have a problem getting the boots though the zippered open leg openings

Hardscarbble bibs have a thin water resident membrane on the lower 1/3rd of the pants leg. Sheds water nicely wearing regular boots but really shines when needing to tuck pant leg into rubber boot.

Stika doesn't change materials in the pant leg.

Hardscarbble top bib portion has no fleece.

Stika uses the grid fleece materialon the upper bib as well.

Hardscarbble uses a sewn elastic to adjust the waist in stretch to fit fashion.

The Stika Fantastic Lite uses a velcro strap to custom fit the bibs to the user.
