coveralls?

coveralls to save your clothes? what the hell does that mean?


coveralls pinch my crotch and give me wegies constantly. I don't like looking like a redneck either.
 
I wear em in the winter. I did a mod though. I put a zipper on the inside of both legs all the way up to the crotch, so they can zip together. instant mummy bag... sort of. I lose the boots, zip up and get in my bag. warm enough I can use my light 40 deg. bag all year and not have to carry a heavy winter bag.
 
yeah, coveralls to keep your clothes clean, what a great idea!

hey, maybe you should wear coveralls over your coveralls, to keep your coveralls clean.

i think he ment to keep ur clothes from tearing and shit like that. But it doesn't really matter cause ur shit is going to dry rot eventually anyways. so if ya wanna where em' if not don't.
 
Traded up from carhartt pants to overalls. They are awesome. They leave your arms bare unlike coveralls, but they also breathe pretty well because of this and are good for all seasons. And they do protect your clothes somewhat.
 
I love the insulated ones, they are so warm for winter! Only problem is they can get heavy to haul around, they don't really pack down very small once it thaws. Other downside is their a bitch to go to the bathroom with, especially for gals.
 
Yeah, that's true. If they're loose enough though, you can just grab a cup and unzip the fly....takes some maneuvering, but easier than doing the whole take-off-your-coat-unhook-the-hooks hullaballoo...

I think your getting overalls and coveralls confused there mkirby. Easy way to remember is coveralls have arms.
 
I wouldnt really wear coveralls any time besides a few really cold days in the dead of winter. Your body movements are definitely restricted and overall I just cant get comfortable with them on when sitting down or laying, they just cant move freely like pants and a jacket.
 
I love my bibs. I had a ride burn rubber on me with my gear. I was in chapel hill near duram. It was november,and all i had was my walls blizzard proof bibs, and a carhart jacket. I tore down some pine bows to keep me off the ground and some to block the wind. I slept comfortably. I standby them. During the summer i tore out the insulation, wore a t,and rocked them highwater style.
 
Best investment for long-term or winter travelling:

These light plastic ones (disposable chem gear) are great to wear under you clothes to keep dry when hitching or riding freight in the rain. on the outside you look to weird to catch a ride, and they tear fast on trains.
