Coveralls

so im getting ready to do some outdoor activities this winter, and was wondering, if Carhart Coveralls are a good buy. a buddy of mine mentioned scentlock coveralls?? i dont know a whole lot about this so any help would be appreciated

 

depending on what you are doing.......hgell yeah carhartt's are a great buy man!!! wall's and some other make some like the carhartt's, but they dont last as long. i have 4 pairs of carhartt's now.........for different things, and i wouldnt trade them for nothing. i use mine for working on cars/trucks in the wintertime, and the others i use for when im splitting wood or doing yard stuff when its cold as crap.

 

I have a Dri-Duck coat, its very similar to a carhardt. They are damn warm!

 

yeah they're mainly gonna be for yard work. i saw some in walmart this weekend. Dickies apparently makes a camoflagued overall, but i didnt know how good it was.

 

I agree with will, it does depend what activities you will be doing.

I have carharts for cutting wood, ice fishing, bird hunting (resist briars well) and most general work outside.

Not waterproof if you are riding quads in the snow or something like that.

 

nope, i aint gonna be doing anything like that. mainly i just need something to keep myself warm.

 

Down jacket = very warm

Remember that buying Carharts is like buying a Taco. There are many different models that kinda look the same on the outside. From a distance the Taco 4x4 and Prerunner look similar.

Same thing with Carharts....some linings are for mild weather and some are for arctic weather.............they are not the same.

What kind of activity in what kind of temperatures are you thinking? If your thinking scentlok, that is typically for hunting....

 

yeah, i was gonna mention that the linings are different. the black linings are for miler weather....still cold, but not as cold, and the red liners are for pretty damn cold weather in the bibs and coveralls...........im pretty sure thats how it goes anyway.

 

according to the website I believe its the other way around will. One other thing, they do have a waterproof line......heres the link for everyone...

yeaqh...i think you are right. and im gonna get me a set of waterproff camo carhartt bibs before too long too them things are comfy!!!

 

I probably own 1,500$ worth of carhartt clothing!!!!!! I would never buy anything else! Period!!

 

yeah...i have tried wall's and something else before.....dont last near as long as carhartt. i am even thinking about getting some carhartt boots for work that are at the local tractor supply. pretty nice comfy,waterproof boots!!

 

My buddy that works at a tire retailer has those!... and he loves them!!

 

yeah I know my Carhartt arctic jacket has black quilting -- love that jacket!

P.S. I guess looking at the website now they call it a "Duck Traditional Coat" http://www.carhartt.com/webapp/wcs/...51&productId=32102&langId=-1&categoryId=10927
which ever!

 

Hell yeah i have 3 arctic jackets!!!

 

My husband and I have Wear Guard insulated Coveralls (full body ones).
Had them for many years, been through the washer many times. THey're awesome (and inexpensive).

so, in other words. if im going to be in freaking cold weather say around the 20s and 30s in the mornings, i should get the red lined overalls? thats about how cold its gonna be.

 

there's also a little something known as layering. i.e. don't depend on one article of clothing to keep you warm and conversely think what happens when it gets to warm to wear a heavy parka.

further example: base layer long johns (thermals), regular clothes over top, a sweat shirt or fleece over that -- maybe some insulated pants, a vest if needed, then yer jacket. for the feet: cotton socks under wool socks over and a pair of sorels or the like. ... I don't know need I go further? You get the idea right?

 

well explained....layering is always the key. I have the arctic jacket like you posted above, if you aren't carefull with that dude you can get too hot real quick. It is very warm and I can't even cut fire wood with a T-shirt on underneath it.....its best for activities less physical like Ice-fishing or even riding the quad.

 

thanks guys. yeah i know about layering. i lived up north for a shortwhile up near toms River ohio. but the advice is well written. thanks. but back to my question: is black insulating color what i need
