Fanatic Bib Reviews

Have been waiting for years

Have been waiting for years for these to go on sale. These would have been worth paying full price. They are wonderful. Finally got cold enough to wear. Had the fanatic jacket for years and now I have the entire outfit. Couldn’t be happier.

Amazingly warm

The Only Pair of Bibs You’ll Ever Need for Whitetail Hunts

Title explains it all. These bibs require no additional warming layers even on the coldest of nights and have been extremely durable even in situations where I’ve had to put a stalk on deer. Not a single negative about these bibs.

Good Bibs

These are the best bibs you can buy!

Like sitting on the couch

These things are so warm you’ll feel like you’re in your living room when you’re in the stand!

Love these bibs!

These bibs are great. I really like the full leg length zippers. The fanatic product is warm and quiet.

Fanatic Bib

Great quality bibs, very warm in 30 degrees. Good pockets. The full length zippers on the legs make it easy to put on and take off with boots. The full length zippers also make it nice to keep from getting too hot while walking

So warm

Bibs review

These are exactly true to description they are warm. They are quiet the pockets in the places to keep your hands are outstanding, and the biggest pro to the set of bibs is the full leg zippers on the side.

Warm

Super warm and block 99 percent of the wind.

Excellent product. Fits great and

Excellent product. Fits great and very warm

Great bibs

Bibs are extremely quiet and warm. The bibs fit like pants and when you walk out to the stand the ability to zip down and let heat out is great. They walk great and fit right hopefully that makes sense. More than enough room in the pockets. The suspenders are way different than other bibs and I like how they adjust with out the plastic adjustment on your shoulders. They are extremely comfortable to sit in and they don’t pull on your legs. I would highly recommend these for cold weather hunting.

Doesn’t get any better!

Whitetails in the Midwest and all day sits on stand in the freezing cold. This is a must have. Even comfortable enough to wear while saddle hunting too.

Much Warmer than the Incinerator BiB

Great Product, well designed pockets and features, Extremely warm! I wore both systems, Incinerator Jacket and Bibs and the Fanatic Jacket and Bibs with identical layering in 20-30 degree weather and the Fanatic was much warmer. For the value, I believe the Fanatic Bib wins over the Incinerator Bib.

Bibs keep tearing at random parts of seems where down together

I love the way they feel, fit,look and most important they work and keep me warm. Now the only issue I have is they keep tearing apart at random seems on the bibs where they are sown together. I’m only hunting deer I only wear them here in ky when the temp falls 30 degrees or lower. I also hunt out of a blind 90% of the time the other 10% I’m in a tree stand or a climber that I hunt out of 5% out of the 10%. I don’t know how I have gone thru three pairs of these bibs the first ones came apart at the seem where the crotch and legs meet, then the second pair came apart at the back of the knee/ leg , the pair I just got in October well they ripped to at the seem where it was sown together on the opposite back of the leg. I’m lost for words and baffled since sika has a good name and reputation. Kinda disappointed at this point I’m not climbing mountains or hard woods out in the middle of nowhere Alaska or Colorado. I have cleared paths I use in and out of my locations i fallow directions on washing and drying I sit to take them on and off, I unzip the legs and etc when putting on my boots then zip them back up. Idk what’s going on.

Fanatic Bibs

These are the foundation to all my hunts. I hunt from the ground in Northern Michigan, either in a turkey chair or on a cushion on the ground. My feet, legs and butt are the first thing to get cold. Even when the temps are in the 50's, I'm still rocking the fanatic bibs. They are so dang comfortable, the pockets are plentiful and the full length side zips keep me from overheating on the walk in. The hand pockets on these are a hidden gem. The inside of the pockets are a soft high loft fleece and just big enough to fit your hand in. I find the smaller separate pockets keep my hands warmer than the bigger kangaroo style. I have even started wearing my jackets underneath my bibs just so I can utilize these pockets (and keep the jackets from riding up). These bibs even do well in the rain. I sat through a steady rain for over an hour and they still held up. The outside of the bibs were soaked, but somehow I never got cold (I had the 330 merino legs underneath). I use any excuse I can to wear these, they are one of my favorite pieces that I own. 5'10 225lbs, size large fits perfect for me.

Amazing but could use improvement

These are probably my new favorite bib! Super warm, quiet and comfortable! My only complaint and it’s a big issue to me is that it pulls very easy! I walked through a small briar patch today and it tore up the lower material! I try my best to take care of all my Sitka as it isn’t cheap so it really upset me. Better stick to the trails. Other than that it amazing!

Ultimate in Warmth and Comfort

When it comes to bibs, I usually found my self drowning in them and feeling super weighed down. These bibs feel fitted and I don't feel like I am walking with a blanket on, plus the quick adjustable straps are a nice touch. THESE ARE WARM!! Unless it is negative digit temps, I have to put these on at my stand. The side and upper zipper vents are fantastic, but definitely geared toward a low movement/stand hunt. I generally wear just a base/mid layer and hoody with these, as they keep my core considerably warm. I have the fanatic jacket as well, but barely ever find myself wearing it with these bibs.

Love these bibs

These are some of the warmest bibs I’ve worn. I live in northern Maine and this past year we had a -31 below zero day without the wind chill and I had to install a pellet stove and they kept me warm the whole time I’d definitely recommend these to anyone that lives in a colder environment. They are quite and I use them for deer hunting and ice fishing and work great for both seasons and definitely well worth the money.

I am from Alabama

I am from Alabama, and I really wish Sitka would come out with the "Fanatic" Whitetail Elevated II jacket and bib system in the Subalpine Camo Pattern so that I can still stay warm through the late season from the ground. I prefer to hunt from the ground instead of a treestand. I can get in and out quietly while being there for an all-day sit. Also, I am a left-dominant anchor. So the jacket would have to be for just that. I am constantly checking the site for this, but no luck so far. And by the way. I am 6'0 165 - 170lbs. That means that I am a 30T to 32T in pants. What's going on with all of the sizes! I literally have to buy a regular just to simi-fit. As I stated earlier, I am constantly searching the Sitka site for updates. Sincerely, Previous Consumer

10 degree Oklahoma Christmas Eve

This is the warmest hunting clothing I have ever owned with out adding multiple layers. I have worked for a few hunting clothing manufactories in the past and have never had anything I could hunt in Oklahoma In the teens or single digits. I was able to sit for 3 hour or so before my buck made his final mistake. I had the stratus jacket on as my outer top layer with hand warmers in my pockets since I shoot a brass handheld release. I think i will order a fanatic jacket in the near future to go with the bibs. I am very pleased with my current cold weather setup.

The best of the best

200 lbs 5,9 I wear size Large in jacket and bibs. Owned the Fanatic for 3 seasons now. I’ve worn my Fanatic well below -0 in my stand many times and never have I’ve been cold. This is the best whitetail cold weather outfit out there. Hands down

Amazing just like the jacket

These bibs are amazing just like the jacket. Super warm and comfortable even down into single digit Temps. 100% windproof too. You pair these with the fanatic jacket and you'll feel like you're sitting next to a nice campfire all day long. I'm not a bib person normally but once I tried these bibs this is all I wear in late season. Sitka is the best stuff period!

Along with the fanatic jacket

Along with the fanatic jacket and hoody, I used the fanatic bibs to replace a long standing, heavy full body suit for cold weather hunts. This is a tremendous improvement in comfort, usability - and probably safety too as wrestling with a giant suit on a climbing stand can really get in the way. So far - super satisfied with the quality and utility of this set. Gear like this adds greatly to the positive experience of cold weather hunting.

Bought the Fanatic bibs and

Bought the Fanatic bibs and jacket. Reluctantly, I spent more money than I ever had spent on hunting clothes. Wore the bibs 4 times and they are very warm, BUT- the entire crotch cross seams tore out and right leg zipper came completely apart! I have been hunting for 35 years and never had this happen to anything I wear! Sent them in for a new set and they only repaired them. It’s been three months and havnt got them back yet- hopefully they are repaired stronger than new. The jacket is really nice but definitely needs a hood. Only warm if you don’t have rain or snow dripping down the back of your neck.

These bibs are unbelievable! I

These bibs are unbelievable! I had them on with the jacket and no layers in 23 degrees and felt like I was sitting on my couch with a blanket. Very very warm.

Buying the trio of the

Buying the trio of the Fanatic Jacket, Hoody, and Bib was a complete game changer for me this year. Perfect for deer hunting and very well thought out. Before this year if I was tree stand deer hunting November-January, I'd have layers upon layers on in the stand and still I'd freeze. As many of you have probably experienced in the past before being exposed to quality gear, being layered like that is miserable. You feel like the Michelin Man. Not only did this kit keep me warm and comfortable in the stand, but it cut out all of the bulk that I had become accustomed to. Couldn't be happier w/ my purchase. If you're hesitant or on the fence about any of these pieces, just do it, you won't regret it.

Pair this with the fanatic

Pair this with the fanatic jacket and you have the equivalency of peanut butter and jelly. It's a perfect pair. Wore these in 20 degrees down to -40 and sat all day long. Silent and comfortable. Recommend to those hunting in frigid cold conditions.

Extremely warm and worth every

Extremely warm and worth every penny. They do run big so go with your normal size, it is made to layer up in your normal size. Only regret I have is no buying sooner and waiting it off til now

Everything I've ever hoped for

Everything I've ever hoped for and more!

Very well laid out and

Very well laid out and constructed. I would make a few minor changes like the material from the status outer layer as the lower leg material for durability, and attempt to cut some weight with the same outcome of warmth. 100% happy with the current product and I can’t wait to get into other Sitka Systems!

I bought these bibs last

I bought these bibs last year near the end of the season, but wanted to give it an entire season before posting a review. I will now say this bib is the most comfortable, quiet, warm, well designed piece of hunting clothing I own. Given the warmth it provides its also surprisingly lightweight. I have been late season whitetail hunting in Canada for decades and I have never been this warm and comfortable. I’m 6’2” and 215lbs and a XLT is perfect.

These are the warmest and

These are the warmest and quietest bibs I’ve worn yet. The bibs and the jacket are great for long sits in frigid temps. Highly recommend!

This was my first Sitka

This was my first Sitka purchase and I can say I’ll never buy another brand after experiencing the quality of their gear. Extremely warm, tons of pockets. You just don’t know what your missing if you haven’t tried out any Sitka gear!

These bibs are very warm

These bibs are very warm in cold weather and quiet. I do hope they upgrade the non fleece part to maybe a more durable fabric. I don’t recommend walk through thick brush with them because I did and got some very small torn threads. Overall great choice and I recommend them.

Wow, probably more than I

Wow, probably more than I need in Southern Alabama BUT when the temps drop in the teens I’m warm and comfy! Super well made and thought out. All the pockets you need and no extra awkward pockets. The two higher hand pockets were perfectly placed and the fleece on the inside was perfect for my exposed trigger finger. I LOVE these bibs and highly recommend!!!!!

Very warm with low bulk.

Very warm with low bulk. Quiet fabric, windstopper works great. Athletic cut, a little snug fitting but not tight. Paired with the Fanatic jacket, I've sat in windy 25 degree weather and been comfortable. The fabric on the lower leg portion is not fleece and does seem to pic easily, I pack them in and out and have a few pics already. The pockets are very well thought out. Two just below the chest and three on each thigh. The thigh pockets are in just the right place to keep hand movement to a minimum.

These are amazing! Very expensive

These are amazing! Very expensive but after using them the sticker shock is gone. Very warm. Sat in the teens with these and a heavy weight thermal bottom for 5 hours and stayed warm. No regrets!

Most incredible piece of hunting

Most incredible piece of hunting gear I own. Each and every zipper and pouch is strategically placed and has a specific purpose. I sat in low 20s without getting cold. These things are like a furnace!

I just got these this

I just got these this season and let me tell you what, these things are bomb proof. Damn near a furnace in single digits. However after harvesting my buck, like a dumb a&& I strapped them to my pack. To my dismay I dropped them on my pack out. Heavy snow that night made it impossible to find them. Today a full 16 days later I just happened to stumble on to them buried under a foot of snow. Complete luck. I wish I could post a picture of them. These things still look brand new!! Do yourself a favor and snag a set of these plus the jacket. Thank you Sitka for always making top quality products!!!

Wore my fanatic bib during

Wore my fanatic bib during a few morning sits around 35 degrees with 10-15 mps wind and was comfortable throughout the day. If I were to hunt in colder conditions I am confident with some heavyweight base layers that the fantatic bibs will keep me warm enough to stay in the stand and more chances to kill a deer. It’s a must have piece in your layering system. Packability isn’t the best but worth carrying in.

Hands down best investment in

Hands down best investment in gear I’ve ever made.

I think you should offer

I think you should offer the coat in a straight up zipper. I ordered a right hand coat but find the zipper very cumbersome.
