You should be able to find a size guide somewhere on Cabelas site I'd imagine

I say go big or go home! But I wear 3X
I always get a little bigger b/c I'm usually wearing layers FWIW.

Thank you, 2 guys in the office and I just bought the bibs. The 3XL parka was just a little too big and the L was just a little too small.

the reviews had conflicting notes. One guy said he was 6'1" and 150 and although the arms in the large fit well the chest/abdomen swallowed him and was way to large.


You think!

It's a parka not a windbreaker. It should be oversized IMO.

just got my set in a few minutes ago


tried the parka on and it feels pretty warm, and the material is pretty quiet, especially compared to my old columbia jacket


it doesnt feel too waterproof though, but we hunt in boxes anyway

i would not have paid more than maybe 120 bucks for the set, but its still a steal at 40 bucks without question and i plan to get some use out of it

BE WARNED! My order of 4 sets came in incomplete. When I ordered they were marked as IN STOCK and confirmed by email. However, the next day I get an email stating the XL parka was discontinued and it was canceled from the order. Now I am left with two medium sets bib/parka (wife and one neighbor), one large set bib/parka (neighbors brother), and one XL bib (my butt). Thus far they are not willing to make suitable amends. Many of you ordered yours after me so you may not get what you expect!

As far as fit, Im 6'5" and 220 and the XL pants fit well including the length but are a bit baggy in the butt without layering underneath. The bib cuffs are not zippered but they have a snap adjustment, and there are only two non closure pockets in the bibs. The Lg parka fits me well and might actually be a slight bit big in the abdomen. The arms are plenty long enough for drawing a bow (31" draw) without the sleves pulling up. There are 4 external pockets on it and no internal pockets and the cuffs close with velcro. I wear a 17 1/2 by 36-37 shirt for comparison.



I will update with info from customer service when I get it.

If anyone gets a Lg or XL parka that doesent fit them let me know, I am apparently in need of one.

i'm 5'10"-185 and the parka fit nicely, the sleeves were perfect length for me and the parka was a bit baggy, but thats to be expected since i only have on a polo shirt


i didnt try the bibs, but they dont seem too long for my height at all

the bibs have a snap at the bottom that basically tightens the bottom, but there is no way to open around your boots or anything,but doesnt seem to be a big problem

the hood is detachable which is nice


overall, like a said, these are a great buy for the price


the camo pattern is pretty nice too, but camo is pointless how we hunt to be honest
