The Riparian Bib is built for anglers who don’t flinch when the forecast turns ugly. When steady rain, driving wind, and cold spray become the baseline, not the exception, these bibs deliver the dependable protection needed to stay focused and fishing longer.
Constructed from durable mini-ripstop stretch nylon, the Riparian Bib balances rugged weather resistance with the flexibility required for active fishing. The fabric is designed to move with you as you step, crouch, and reach, while a smooth polyester lining allows for easy layering and quick transitions on and off. Leg zippers with storm flaps make pulling the bibs over boots simple, whether you’re gearing up at the dock or adjusting mid-day.
Weather protection is uncompromising. A waterproof and windproof 20k/20k laminate paired with fully taped seams creates a sealed barrier against rain and wind. A triple storm flap over the front center zipper adds another line of defense, while zipper storm flaps throughout prevent moisture intrusion in prolonged wet conditions. Dual hook-and-loop waist adjustments allow you to fine-tune the fit, keeping the bibs secure and comfortable through long hours of movement.
Fit and functionality stay locked in when conditions deteriorate. Adjustable suspenders with silicone grip and low-profile buckles keep the bibs anchored on your shoulders without slipping or digging in. Multiple reflective tape placements on the chest and back improve visibility from every angle in low-light conditions. Two sewn-in D-rings provide quick, secure attachment points for a safety kill switch cord and trolling motor fobs.
Storage is streamlined and purposeful. A five-pocket layout, including cargo, chest, and handwarmer pockets with AquaGuard® water-resistant zippers, keeps essentials protected and within easy reach. From gloves and phones to keys and tools, everything has a place without interfering with movement or comfort.
Designed as a true outer shell within the Whitewater system, the Riparian Bib pairs seamlessly with the Riparian Jacket and integrates effortlessly with mid-layers below. It’s built for anglers who stay on the water when others head for cover.
