When you need an all-in-one solution to keep you warm and keep you going, our insulated coveralls and bib overalls can’t be beat. But how do you know which one is right for you?

Read on to discover the pros and cons of bibs and coveralls and make the best choice for your work environment.

Should I Use Insulated Coveralls for Working in the Cold?

Insulated coveralls from RefrigiWear helped construction workers build the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, so they can definitely keep you warm on the job.

With 70 years of experience and innovation under our belts, our coveralls are the best gear around for fighting the cold. But, no single solution is right for every person or for every job, so let's talk about when insulated coveralls work best for cold weather jobs.

Insulated Coveralls are the best choice if you:

• You need every bit of the absolute maximum full-body warmth RefrigiWear can give you.
• You need an all-in-one outfit that covers and protects your whole body.
• You want the highest level of wind protection we’ve got.
• You want front pockets, chest pockets, sleeve pockets—basically, you love pockets and want a lot of them.

Insulated Coveralls might not be right for you if:

• You need a lot of airflow around your upper torso to feel comfortable.
• You need a garment that’s more adjustable and gives you more options for amping up warmth or toning it down to match changes in your environment or activity level.

Should I Use Insulated Bib Overalls for Working in the Cold?

Insulated bib overalls, also known as snow bibs, are some of our most versatile and durable garments. Many of our insulated workwear collections include at least one pair of bib overalls, so you can mix and match them with insulated hoodies or jackets.

Following are important things to consider about insulated bib overalls when you're working in the cold.

Insulated Bib Overalls are the best choice if you:

• You need a bigger range of upper body motion than coveralls can give you.
• You want more airflow around your torso.
• You already have an insulated coat that you like and you only need to add insulation to the lower part of your body.
• You need an outfit that is highly adjustable to the shape of your body.

Insulated Bib Overalls might not be right for you if:

• You’re working in extreme cold and need total self-contained warmth.
• You carry lots of small gear with you and need many extra pockets to store them.
• You need protection with a total wind seal in a one-piece garment.
