Lots of choices these days. Bought some Grundens but there’s no fly! Will be returning.
Can’t imagine stripping down to take a wiz in the middle of a downpour. I like GoreTex but not set on it.

Thanks

Hiya!

I just went through this same process and went with HUK Grand banks bibs. Adjustable waist straps, and the center zip is double....one at the top, one at the bottom so we can use a restroom properly without having to take everything off. Light weight, and from the bit I used mine this year, very nice!! Size zippers to help on and off with boots and velcro at the bottom to snug up along the boot.

Sportsmans warehouse had them on sale a while back, but you can find them on amazon as well. I'm happy with mine.

Aftco hydronaut have a water seal zipper and a fly zipper in the crotch of their bibs. I have been happy with mine. First responders and military get a discount on them as well.

Hard to beat Simms Pro Dry. I've got a set of the original grey series that came out and they are still going strong. I wash with a tech wash each season and re-treat with a wash in Revivex and they still bead water like new. When they do fail at this point- I feel I more than got my money's worth.
