A bib covers the gap a jacket leaves, keeping your core and legs dry and warm when the weather lands above the wader line. Chêne bibs are built for layout blinds, boat runs, and the wet, cold days when waders alone are not enough.
The waterproof Hydro-Lok Field Bib blocks rain and spray for the blind and the boat, while the Founders' Reserve Waxed Bib brings waxed canvas durability. Pair a bib with a Hydro-Lok jacket for a fully sealed setup, or wear it over waders for extra coverage.
