What is Fishing Bib?

A fishing Bib is a protective clothing that fishermen wear over their garments. It consists of a removable wader boot and loose trousers. They are made of waterproof or water-resistant material and come in three-quarters or full length, which usually protects the lower body from splashes, rain, or muddy water when fishing. They have adjustable straps for a secure fit and often have reinforced knees, pockets for the tackle in certain variations, and a thermal pad for cold weather conditions.

How to Choose a Fishing Bib?

Here are 5 major factors to consider while choosing a fishing bib. Material, fit & size, insulation, colors, and pocket & storage.  

Material

Fishing Bibs are made of durable & waterproof material. Choices include nylon, PVC-coated, breathable fabrics, and Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coatings, to protect anglers from wet conditions.

Fit & Size

Fishing Bibs come in sizes ranging from small to extra large. They are available in relaxed, normal, and extra loose fits. The length (from crotch to bottom) ranges from 31 to 36 inches ensuring coverage of the lower body. 

Insulation

Fishing Bibs are insulated and help maintain body heat and protect against moisture, ensuring ease, and minimizing distractions in cold and damp environments.

Colors

Fishing bibs are available in various colors, including black, blue, green, red, yellow, and orange. These choices allow fishermen to select the color based on visibility, design, or personal preference.

Pocket & Strong

Fishing bibs have strong pockets that allow anglers to keep tools, personal items, and tackle within easy reach, helping fishermen focus on fishing rather than moving around for equipment.
