To start things off, we have the Dickies Men’s Premium Insulated Duck Coverall. This lightweight coverall provides the right amount of insulation all day long. What’s more, the multiple pockets make organizing your essentials feel like a breeze.
- Features Water repellent, Dickies ScuffGard, Double knees,...
Why Did We Like It?
For starters, the positive customer feedback compelled us to try the product. The cotton fabric is blended with 10 ounces of duck cotton variant, which accounts for its insulation. However, the material does not make the coverall heavy, meaning you can wear it for hours without any movement restriction. Plus, the pure cotton build negates the risk of developing allergies.
We are also impressed with the quality of lining that enhances its insulation ability. The combination of polyester and nylon won’t require you to put too many layers inside, while also being breathable and comfortable. But if you still feel the need, its broad chest allows you to put on a few layers easily. Furthermore, the corduroy collar provides optimum protection against cold.
Coming to its organization, this coverall has multiple pockets both inside and out. With three chest pockets, inner and rule pockets, there’s plenty of room to store all your essentials on the go. Moreover, the hammer loop makes for convenient hands-free carrying.
Lastly, its water repellent property and durability makes it suitable for prolonged use. While we opted for the black variant, you can also try the dark navy, brown or brown duck option.
What Could’ve Been Better?
Perhaps the only problem with this otherwise excellent coverall is the small-sized pocket zippers, which can be difficult to pull, especially with gloves. Hence, you may need some practice to get used to it.
- Heavy duty brass two-way zipper for easy wear
- Triple-needle felled seams prevent fraying
- Double knee design for reinforced protection
- Can be wiped clean with a wet cloth
- Small pocket zippers
Next up on the list is the RefrigiWear Men’s Iron-Tuff Insulated Coveralls. Made to combat extreme conditions, it has been tested to provide adequate insulation in as low as -50 degrees Fahrenheit. Its insulation and durability are meant to last for years.
- Combat the cold and stay warm in even the most extreme cold...
- Keep out the elements for added comfort with a...
- Integrated fleece-lined hood featuring a knit border for...
- Highly durable for many years of use with tear- and abrasion...
Why Did We Like It?
No surprises here as the temperature range got us interested in the product. For a coverall that’s designed for -50 degrees Fahrenheit, it only makes sense that the insulation will be top-notch, and this one does just that. To begin with, it’s equipped with 11.25 ounces of RefrigriFill insulation, which makes it capable of enduring harsh climatic conditions.
Additionally, the sewn-on fleece-lined hood has a special knit wind seal to keep the wind and snow at bay. All you have to do is pull the adjustable string to secure its position around your head.
Apart from that, the outer shell is made from denier nylon that makes it both tear and abrasion-resistant. Besides, the snaps are reinforced with brass rivets at pressure points, which only adds to its durability. And with a bound seam design, the coverall efficiently seals out drafts, keeping the extreme cold out.
Much like the Dickies Premium Men’s Insulated Duck Coverall, there’s no dearth of storage on this one too. A couple of oversized front pockets are insulated to provide sufficient hand warmth, and the chest pocket can easily hold your phone.
What Could’ve Been Better?
It may be helpful to know that the RefrigiWear Men’s Iron-Tuff Insulated Coveralls isn’t the cheapest alternative. But given its insulation and durability, we aren’t really mad about its price. Also, the heavy lining may restrict movement to some extent.
- Water-repellent fabric
- Heavy duty zippers
- Insulated wrist design
- True-to-size fitting
- May restrict movement
Another one of our top recommendations is the Carhartt Arctic Quilt Lined Yukon Coverall. Its comfortable fitting keeps you warm throughout, be it while working or simply taking a stroll outside. Plus, cleaning it won’t make you strain your nerves.
- Zip-front coverall featuring double knees that accommodate...
- Zippered chest pockets and slanted hand pockets
- Heavyweight. Water-repellent, 1,000-denier cordura nylon...
- Under-collar snaps for hood (not included). For best...
Why Did We Like It?
To start with, the pure Cordura nylon outer shell has multiple advantages that make this coverall a likable option. In addition to providing optimum insulation in cold temperatures, it accounts for its water-resistance, which prevents moisture build-up. On top of that, the under collar snaps offer extra support if you plan to attach a hood.
We also liked how it has broad shoulders and chest, which leaves enough room for putting on more layers underneath. And with the adjustable elastic waist, you can customize its fittings as needed. Furthermore, the bi-swing back provides ease of movement for all your tasks.
Likewise, the double-layer knees have openings to accommodate knee pads and clearing debris when required.
Perhaps its biggest highlight is the ankle-to-waist two-way zippers with snap storm flaps. Not only does it make the coverall easy to slide over your footwear, but it also reinforces insulation around the legs. This feature will come in especially handy while working in the snow.
As far as its maintenance is concerned, there’s not too much work involved here either. Simply put it in the washing machine and hang to drip dry. Thanks to the wrinkle-free technology, you don’t have to go through the hassle of ironing it every time. So, bonus points awarded!
What Could’ve Been Better?
The combination of the shell and insulation lining makes the coverall a bit stiff. But that’s not a big problem since it will become softer with a few washes. However, the resultant thickness means that it won’t fold up or roll very small.
- Zipper chest and slanted hand pockets
- Abrasion-resistant and water repellent
- Under-arm vents
- Pleated elbows
- Requires more storage space
The Berne Men’s Deluxe Insulated Coverall is one of the brand’s most popular products in the line. Designed for maximum flexibility and movement, this coverall has reinforced protection at all crucial pressure points to prolong its service life.
- Full length brass leg zippers with snap closures, and pass...
- Pleated bi-swing back for maximum range of motion
- Two way brass front zipper
- Edge stitched corduroy collar with snaps for optional hood
Why Did We Like It?
Berene is a brand that’s known for its quality apparel, and this insulated coverall is no exception. Like the Dickies Men’s Premium Insulated Duck Coverall, its pure cotton fabric reduces the risk of allergies and irritations. Moreover, it’s scratch-resistant properties ensure optimum protection when you walk through rugged terrains or thorny bushes.
Talking about its comfort, the bi-swing back facilitates a wide range of motion that allows you to get through the day’s job with ease. Plus, there’s an edge-stitched corduroy collar with snaps, in case you want to add a hood.
The insulating layers may not feel very heavy, but be assured that they provide the right amount of warmth to deal with low temperatures throughout.
Like its predecessor, there’s a pair of brass leg zippers with snaps that make it easy to wear the coverall with shoes on.
Storage wise, the three inside pockets are designed with sufficient space to accommodate a few of your essentials. Since one of them is equipped with a zipper, you can use it to store your wallet.
All in all, the Berne Men’s Deluxe Insulated Coverall has a simple design and useful features that make it one of the most cost-effective products in its price range.
What Could’ve Been Better?
This coverall tends to shrink a little after the first wash, so we’d suggest opting for a bigger size than required. Also, we feel that the quality of the zippers could’ve been better. But these problems are in no way deal-breakers for us!
- Pass through and hip pockets
- Four-needle stitched waistband with elastic
- Extra fabric on knees
- Available in black and brown colors
- Fitting isn’t true-to-size
- Zippers aren’t very durable
To break the monotony of coverall designs, we decided to go with a biberall this time. As such, the Carhartt Men’s Yukon Arctic Lined Biberall makes a deserving entry on the list. Besides, its water repellent feature keeps you dry in light rain.
- 1000-denier cordura; nylon, heavyweight
- water-repellent
- Machine wash cold - like colors all zippers closed
- Imported
Why Did We Like It?
Honestly, we were pretty impressed with the brand’s quilt-lined coverall, and decided to try a different variant. To our delight, this biberall isn’t much disappointing either. Firstly, the 1000-denier Cordura nylon is equipped with Carhartt’s patented water-repellant and wind-fighter technology. Thus, it keeps you safe from both moisture and wind for providing maximum warmth.
Apart from that, the heavy duty polyester lining is meant to withstand even sub-zero temperatures. On that note, it’s worth mentioning that you may have to wear a winter jacket on top during extreme cold. Other than that, you should be good with just the biberall over a few layers underneath.
Similar to the coverall, the presence of leg zippers only adds to the convenience of wearing it.
The double knee with cleanup bottoms is another of its highlights, making it convenient for the user to add knee pads if required. And with the double zippered chest, you can keep all your belongings safe from falling.
Although the adjustable elastic suspenders offer great customization, its true-to-size fitting will hardly need much adjustment. If you’re looking for an effective biberall to shield the cold at work, then this product is worth considering.
What Could’ve Been Better?
We feel that the crotch area may be too tight for some users, especially with constant movement. Likewise, the suspenders feel a bit too heavy on the shoulders when tightened to the maximum.
- Snap close wind flaps
- Twin zip hand pockets
- Zippered crotch design
- Secure and durable suspender hooks
- Suspenders feel heavy with tightened hooks
Almost halfway through the list, and here’s another one of our RefrigiWear favorites. The ChillBreaker Insulated Coverall is designed from superior-grade fabric and has an effective design that’s effective in preventing severe cold and snowy weather. What’s more, it doesn’t compromise on ease of movement.
- Stay comfortable and warm in cooler temperatures, down to...
- Keep out the elements with water-repellant, wind-tight...
- 100% Taslon outershell makes the coveralls lightweight...
- Ample storage areas with 2 front and 2 back pockets as well...
Why Did We Like It?
For starters, the 100% Taslan nylon other shell drew our attention. Its weaving pattern renders the look and feel of cotton, while making it resistant to water and moisture. Additionally, the durability factor is quite high, thereby making it suitable for rough use.
Furthermore, the polyester fabric fiberfill insulation is engineered to provide warmth in temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Combined with the tight metallic zipper and elastic sealing, its insulating properties are one of the best in its price range. Plus, the soft-fleece lined collar keeps your neck comfortable at all times.
Similar to the Berne Men’s Deluxe Insulated Coverall, this one has an adjustable waist that aids fitting. For this purpose, you can pull the interior drawcord as required. Tightening the waist also reinforces the coverall’s wind sealing ability.
In terms of storage, there are a couple of pockets on both the front and side. And if that’s not enough, the two zippered chest pockets are meant to store valuables like phone and wallet.
Lastly, the hip-to-leg zippers facilitate easy wearing even with footwear on. If premium pricing isn’t an issue, then the RefrigiWear Men’s ChillBreaker Insulated Coverall is an excellent deal.
What Could’ve Been Better?
As we have mentioned before, this coverall does come with a slightly expensive price tag. However, our main concern is that all the sizes are larger than normal. Hence, you may need some alterations or fitting adjustments.
- 3 ply material and waterproof
- Abrasion-resistant
- Lightweight
- Elastic sealing for wind-resistance
- Fitting is somewhat large
The Dickiews Men’s Insulated Bib-style Overall is designed to be comfortable and warm without feeling too heavy. Made from pure cotton, it’s equipped with heavy duty zippers for tolerating the wear and tear of regular use.
- Triple needle felled seams
- Hammer and tape measure loops
Why Did We Like It?
First and foremost, we really liked how lightweight the pure cotton fabric feels on the body. Thanks to its comfort, you can wear it throughout the day at home or work without feeling suffocated. And similarly, the nylon lining is quilted with polyester insulation for optimum durability and breathability. It will keep you warm in single degree temperatures.
Besides, it’s machine washable, meaning you can clean it easily to get rid of stains and dirt.
Unlike the Carhartt Men’s Yukon Arctic Lined Biberall, the adjustable shoulder straps weren’t too tight on the shoulders, which was a huge positive for us. At the same time, we were also impressed with the quality of the hooks and zippers.
With two large pockets, you can carry some of your essentials. For a biberall, we think fewer pockets are better to prevent it from sagging.
Last but not least, it’s affordable price tag won’t make you break the bank. Although the bigger sizes cost more, it’s still pretty reasonable for what it brings to the table. While we opted for the black bib, you can also try the brown and duck brown variants.
What Could’ve Been Better?
Much like the Berne Men’s Deluxe Insulated Coverall, this one shrinks after the initial wash. So, it’s better to opt for a larger size. However, the larger sizes fit a little bigger than usual, so you may still need some tailoring.
- Elastic shoulder straps
- Zippered crotch
- Adequately broad chest
- Affordable
- Figuring the right size may be tricky
If you’re looking for a coverall that’s designed with the worker in mind, then the Wall Men’s Zero-Zone Duck Insulated Coverall may just fit your needs. Its durability and insulation are ideal for those who take on strenuous tasks regularly.
- Muscle Back Technology Allows extended range of motion with...
- Diamond-quilt, four-ounce insulation Poly fill traps thermal...
- Pass-thru hand warmer pockets allow interior access Reach...
- Easy grab, storm-flapped side venting zipper Sheds heat...
Why Did We Like It?
For a brand that’s in the market since 1938, trusting its products wasn’t very difficult for us. Firstly, the pure duck cotton material is a couple of inches thick than the industry standard, making it more resistant to damage. Apart from that, the waterproof patch on the knees ensures complete safety from dirt, grime and scuffing.
Moving on, it’s equipped with a four ounce diamond-quilt polyester lining that doesn’t let the heat escape, no matter how cold it gets. But thanks to the muscle back technology, the thick insulation and outer shell don’t restrict your movement. Furthermore, the easy grab side venting zipper allows even more flexibility without the need to remove it.
Similar to the Berne Men’s Deluxe Insulated Coverall, the front pass-through pockets are effective in keeping your hands warm. Other than that, there are two zippered chest pockets and back patch pockets, with the left one having a concealed zipper. Additionally, the right leg utility pocket and hammer loop provide sufficient storage.
Finished off with two-way front metal zip, this coverall from Walls provides all-round protection for workers on the go.
What Could’ve Been Better?
Although the fit isn’t an issue for smaller sizes, the pant length is about an inch long in the larger sizes. And since the fabric doesn’t shrink too much after the first wash, we’d advise getting it altered up to the ankle length.
- Back hem scuff guard on pant
- Triple stitched body
- Sleeve articulation for quick in-and-out
- Elastic waist for tight-fitting
- Pants are longer than usual
As we near the end of the list, here’s another bib-style overall from RefrigiWear. The Iron-Tuff Insulated Bib functions pretty much as its overall counterpart without compromising on insulation and comfort.
- Enjoy freedom of movement and stay warm with these insulated...
- Combat the cold and stay warm in even the most extreme cold...
- Flexible overalls design with high front and back give you...
- Highly durable for many years of use with tear- and...
Why Did We Like It?
Having tried the Iron-Tuff overall, we were interested to see how its bib version delivers on its claims. For one, the brand’s exclusive RefrigiFill technology provides 11.25 ounces of insulation, which can resist up to -50 degrees Fahrenheit. Besides, the water repellant finish keeps water from getting inside.
What appealed to us the most its high front and back design that makes it capable of shielding more cold than the usual bibs. Although we aren’t rooting for the resultant look, we are happy with its heat-trapping ability. On top of that, the adjustable suspenders have a back yoke that prevents them from sliding off the shoulders.
Not only does the bound seam stitch effectively seal out cold and wind, but it also reinforces the product’s durability. In tandem with brass rivets at key pressure points, the bib is meant to last for years to come.
Lastly, the heel reinforcement patches reduce friction with the boots, thereby protecting it from getting ripped. As a result, you don’t have to necessarily alter the pants even if they extend beyond the ankle. Simply put it on using the heavy duty front zipper and forget the chill!
What Could’ve Been Better?
Perhaps having an elastic waist would’ve made for better fitting as well as improved the overall look. But we are most bummed about the absence of a chest pocket, which would have made organization even more convenient.
- Abrasion-resistant nylon outer shell
- Wind-tight finish
- Large pockets
- Doesn’t restrict movement
- Barrel-cut waist
- No chest pocket
The Hagor Snow Ski Suit Coverall is one of the brand’s premium coveralls that’s designed to provide adequate insulation in snowy conditions. Made of rugged nylon material, it’s ideal for a range of outdoor activities.
- This Snowsuit is made according to IDF standards for the...
- It has a two sided Zipper and is made of a water-resistant...
- The snowsuit retains body temperature in extreme cold...
- The suit is not designed for heavy rain storms.*** .This...
Why Did We Like It?
At first glance, this coverall did come across as a heavy duty snowsuit meant to resist the coldest temperatures with ease. Since it’s engineered to match the IDF standard of suits that are designed for the Israeli army, you need not worry about durability and insulation. In this regard, the outer shell is made from water-resistant fabric, and the hood has a synthetic fur lining.
Likewise, the suit’s lower body consists of an insulating layer that’s made of hollow synthetic for optimum wind-sealing. Additionally, this layer also prevents your natural body heat from escaping. And much to our delight, both the outer fabric and insulating layer feel comfortable on the skin.
As far as looks are concerned, the Hagor Snow Ski Suit Coverall doesn’t do away with the style factor. The darkish-blue color with silver rivets definitely looks good.
Last but not least, there’s no significant movement restriction, meaning you can carry on with your job with maximum comfort. In our opinion, its expensive tag stands justified with the features on offer.
What Could’ve Been Better?
For all its advantages, we’d still have liked some improvements in the overall design. Firstly, the hood doesn’t have a drawstring to tighten it around the head. This leaves some room for cold air to enter.
Similarly, the collar also has a somewhat loose-fitting, which can be solved using a velcro strap. Considering its hefty price tag, the lack of these little reinforcements are disappointing.
- Robust metallic double-sided front zipper
- Synthetic fur-lined hood
- Hollow synthetic insulating layer
- Suitable for use in snowstorms
- No drawstring for hood
- Loose collar
Before we conclude today’s list, the Red Kap Men’s Insulated Blended Duck Coverall finds an honorable mention. It’s simple design and effective insulation keeps you adequately warm during the biting cold.
- HEAVY-DUTY. Quilted polyester insulation with a nylon lining...
- PROTECTION. Ankle-to-waist, two-way leg zippers with...
- EASY CLEAN & PRESS. Machine Washable with wrinkle-resistant...
- MULTIPLE POCKETS. Chest and Hip Pockets, Front Pockets, plus...
Why Did We Like It?
The Red Kap Men’s Insulated Blended Duck Coverall is a no-nonsense product that doesn’t have fancy features, but manages to deliver well on its promise. For starters, the outer shell is made from a blend of polyester and cotton that makes it both warm and comfortable. Plus, the wrinkle-resistance feature means maintenance won’t be a hassle.
There are quite a few things that the brand does for reinforcing durability. For one, the balanced blend of polyester and cotton accounts for its water-resistance ability. And the heavy duty metallic zipper can tolerate rough use with ease.
The quilted fiberfill insulation is further reinforced with a thick nylon lining that doesn’t allow the heat to escape. Moreover, it leaves enough room for you to put on extra layers if required. Not only that, but the protective storm flaps on the leg zippers also ensure maximum protection from almost anything.
Finally, with six pockets distributed throughout the coverall, you can carry all your essentials everywhere.
What Could’ve Been Better?
Although we are satisfied with its insulation and comfort, we can’t wrap our heads around the high price of the larger sizes. Furthermore, the proportion of polyester in its outer shell (65%) doesn’t make it as lightweight as few others on the list.
- Stain-resistant
- Machine wash compatible
- Chest pockets have snap-down flaps
- Available in two colors
- Larger sizes are expensive
- Heavy
Cold Weather Coveralls and Bibs Buyers’ Guide
Knowing the top 11 names is only the job half done. To spend your hard-earned bucks on the right kind of coverall or bib, you should ensure that your preferred choice fits all your needs. That’s why we’ve compiled this short buyers’ guide with the key factors worth considering.
-
Durability
Without a doubt, durability sits on top of our must-have factors. Since coveralls are meant to be worn for outdoor activities or on various job sites, you would want it to resist the regular wear and tear. Generally, outer shells made of cotton, polyester and nylon are very tough resistant to abrasions. But it’s a good practice to look out for added features like brass rivets, hem scuff guards and others.
-
Insulation
While most coveralls have a nylon insulating layer, some others may come with polyester and synthetic. On the other hand, many coveralls and bibs are also equipped with two or more insulating fabrics. If you don’t want too much heat, go for one that has a single insulating material or layer. This way, you can add on layers inside when required. Later, upgrade to a warmer one.
Similarly, having a hood or under snap collars (for future hood requirements) protects the head from the cold.
-
Zippers
The reason most of our recommendations have leg zippers is because they are easier to wear. But even if you prefer the more traditional front-zipper only design, make sure that they are smooth and durable.
-
Maintenance
If you don’t want the hassle of everyday washing and drying, we’d suggest opting for one that’s stain-resistant and machine washable. Additionally, being wrinkle-resistant does away with frequent ironing sessions.
Verdict
If not for bibs and coveralls, working in winters would’ve been a lot worse!
So, if you still don’t own one, now is the time to make that purchase. And before you head out, here’s a quick shoutout to the top three names that stood out for us.
The Dickies Men’s Premium Insulated Duck Coverall provides sufficient heat and storage, while the RefrigiWear Men’s Iron-Tuff Insulated Coveralls can take on sub-zero temperatures. On the other hand, the Carhartt Men’s Yukon Arctic Lined Biberall is one of the best winter bibs out there.
Agree with our verdict? Let us know in the comments down below. With this, it’s time for us to sign off. Hope our effort helps you find the right product that also fits your budget.
So long!
