I wore coveralls all my life until recently. Coveralls are too darn tight on the shoulders and heavy. I now wear nylon bibbies from NiteLite that are lightweight and comfortable. Heavy boots suck but I haven't found a lightweight boot that is warm. Kangaroo leather boots are the lightest I've found yet but still heavy.

I always wore bibs. They fit better and you can add and subtract layers throughout the day much easier with that set up.

neither, however I do wear suspenders to keep my pants up, lol Your neighbors appreciate that.  I will probably be with suspenders one day. I don't a have a butt or a waist that a belt helps much.

I never seen Drifter in anything but Carhart bibs... I started wearing bibs pretty regular after got my guts cut outsome years bsck. Way more comfortable on my scars. I dont like them though in warmer weather not sure how them southern guys do that. Just last week when warmed I got my jeans t-shirt back on. Got to warm in the red bibs. I can't wear a belt so well anymore across my front. So I have this funky belt that basically just goes around my back. Also use the suspenders that are called Hikers Hidden. Got make a system that's comfortable and works for you.

It depends if I’m outside just doing general work things I’ll throw the bibs on. Now if I’m planning on laying down a lot and working on my back and stuff I’ll throw the coveralls on.

Same X2.......Carhart and Key......."the aristocrat of overalls". And a Carhart coat over the bigs. Winter survival gear. I keep thinking there ought to be a way to hide a pocket somewhere in a pair of bibs in which a guy could slip in a pistol. Let the shoulder straps carry the weight.
