First Lite Men's Refuge Bib

Waterfowlers make up a small percentage of hunters who get truly stoked when they see sleet, snow, and driving winds in the forecast. Cold weather kick-starts migrations from the north, and heavy precipitation + wind forces the birds to fly low, on the lookout for cover and safe-haven with other flocks, increasing the opportunity for sweet-talking waterfowlers to coax them into their decoy spreads.

The Refuge Bib was built for performance in the extreme cold of late-season field hunting with its robust insulation package, durable waterproof/windproof fabrication, and an extensive feature set optimized for pit and layout blinds.

We’ve fit the Refuge Bib under the Refuge Parka with enough room to comfortably layer heavy Base-Layer and Transitional Outerwear (like Catalyst or Brooks) underneath to keep hunters comfortable from 30 degrees to well below zero. The KitLink accessibility of the Refuge Parka is aligned for integration with the merino fleece hand muff of the Refuge Bib, carefully designed to help hunters go farther and stay longer through the best, worst days in the field.
