The Expedition™ ice fishing bibs will take you into the frigid lows of winter, and keep you warm every step of the way. From the moment you slip them on for the first time, to the bitter end of each season, don’t let your lower half know it’s winter out there. Forge onto early ice with peace of mind in your back pocket. Eskimo’s unique Uplyft™ Breathable Flotation technology will keep you above water should the unthinkable happen, and dries out quickly once you’re out. This non-bulky, perforated flotation foam is both buoyant and breathable, with a mobility fit so it won’t make you feel like a marshmallow with it on. When the real cold fronts start to roll in, keep things warm and dry behind Eskimo’s high-performance DuraDry™ mechanical stretch fabric. This stretchy fabric enhances mobility and comfort, moving with you as you bend, kneel, and navigate from hole to hole. The Durable Water Repellent coated, 10K/10K waterproof/breathable fabric is high-end compared to standard ice fishing outerwear, with 80 g of 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation throughout the bibs. In practice, this means that wind can’t leak through anywhere on cold snowmobile rides, and water won’t penetrate it. Nobody has ever regretted being over-prepared in frigid winter conditions. Comfort in every situation is the bottom line here. To make sure the bibs fit over your boots and sit exactly where you want, each leg has five different length adjustment options. The lowest hem seams are shaped and reinforced, so you won’t be carrying around any extra bell-bottom ice buildup you didn’t sign up for. The foam knee pads create a noticeable cushion that moves with you from hole to hole, and Eskimo keep the pockets and storm flap simple, magnetic closures that you don’t have to spend extra time fiddling with. Hit the ice trusting the one item you’ll have on your body all day long, and make sure it’s this comfortable.
