Carhartt Men's Quilt-Lined Zip-to-Thigh Bib Overalls R41 - Durable Workwear for Construction, Farming & Outdoor Activities

BLUF: They are warm as heck. Order a size or two up on the waist. Try them on at a store if you can.I’ve just gotten back to riding my motorcycle again year-round again. I’ve been adding layers and clothing along the way to ensure that I can ride throughout the winter, and this past week the temps and wind chill took the ‘feels-like’ temperature down to 20 degrees. I really hate wearing thermals, so I decided to try coveralls at a friend’s urging.After having spent a morning looking over different styles on the internet, I determined that a quilt-lined pair of overalls is what I wanted to go with. I took a trip over to my local Tractor Supply Company who had this same brand priced at exactly $20 more. I would have bought a pair then, but they didn’t have the size that I wanted. They also didn’t have my size in their store-brand either. I assume that had something to do with going after the first major cold/freezing spell.So, the biggest benefit was actually trying them on. In reality I wear a 32” waist. When I tried on a 34” waist in the store, I thought it was a bit tight. I ended up ordering a 36” waist from Amazon, and so far, they are perfect. I don’t feel like it’s snug. I ordered roughly two sizes up and have been very happy with the result. The length is 30”, just like every other pair of pants I own.Notes on fit:-I wear them with a pair of combat boots. It’s easier getting them on than getting them off.-The zipper on the pant legs works fine. The buttons are a pain in the rear, but that might be because they are new -and very stiff.-There are so many pockets. Great for using them for their intended purpose – overkill for riding-I don’t like the fasteners for the overall straps. They work fine, but buttons would have been easier here. This is more like a hook and loop style.-I had to take off the overalls to adjust the straps. I ordered my normal ant inseam, but had to tighten the straps quite a bit. Still would not have changed that decision.When the temps are well below 40, and half that with the wind chill, these work amazingly well. My mid-section and upper legs are toasty warm all the way down to 20 degrees real-feel, and going 60 mph. The only drawback that I found when using them for this purpose, it gets cold from about my shins down when the cold air gets up under the pant legs. This is due to them being loose at the bottom of the legs. Again – I am not necessarily using them for their intended application, so it’s not surprising that they are loose and allow air to flow, but that’s the only drawback. Otherwise, these fit great and they keep me warm. If I only had a pair of gloves this warm.
