Men's Fairbanks Heavyweight, Waterproof, Sherpa-Fleece-Lined Hunting Bibs - Vertek

Fairbanks Heavyweight Waterproof Hunting Bibs

Recommended temperature range of 0F to 30F, with proper layering.

A classic pair of cold weather hunting bibs.

The Fairbanks bibs in Vertek are our original, 100% windproof and waterproof heavyweight hunting jacket. Named after Fairbanks, AK, we wanted these bibs to be just as tough as its name implies while having the right features you need in a puffy, insulated hunting bib.

Durable yet soft - A heavily brushed tricot exterior is made to be tough on burrs and brush, while the plush sherpa fleece interior is soft to the skin and keeps in the warmth.

100% Waterproof - With interior taped seams on the windproof/waterproof film, the Fairbanks blocks cold, wet winds from penetrating and ruining your hunt.

Lock in the heat - Polyfill insulation traps warm air and circulates it throughout the bibs - warming you through your legs, back, and core.

The Fairbanks bibs feature 3 pockets - one zippered chest pocket and two lower hand pockets.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Is the Fairbanks just the Matterhorn without Heat Boost?
  - The Fairbanks and Matterhorn are different in construction, with the Matterhorn having significantly reduced bulk. The Matterhorn, with its Heat Boost, is much thinner in the chest and legs compared to the Fairbanks. This allows easier mobility on long walks to the stand. The Fairbanks really shines on short walks during the late season with a crossbow or firearm.
• Does the Fairbanks work for bowhunting?
  - Compared to the fit of our other heavyweight bibs, the Fairbanks was designed as a classic, late season bibs perfect for gun season. If mobile bowhunting, we recommend having shorter walks or taking breaks so you don’t overheat.
• Do I need to order a size bigger to have room for extra layers?
  - No, we design all of our clothing to “size up” with you for layering going from lightweight to heavyweight garments. For example, if you wear an XL jacket for early season, you will only need an XL for late season, winter weather garments.
• How much do I need to layer underneath the Fairbanks to get to 0F?
  - Our temperature ratings follow our System Builder - base layers, insulation layers, mid layers, and lastly the outer layer. Each hunter’s cold tolerance is different, but a safe bet is to follow the system for full temperature rating coverage.
