Everything changed after Bass Pro bought them and brought all the outerwear under the Redhead brand.

It is really nice stuff. Thanks for the comment and the support. Ev has been a good friend to me since the early 2000s. Good guy!

Great Kevin. Thanks for supporting the sponsors and for dropping this comment. Have a great day.

You will definitely like them. Good luck.

Same guy and same stuff - only better. Good luck.

Did Bass Pro ruin Cabela's, or did the greed of the Cabela's owners prior to selling out ruin Cabela's? Bass Pro did what Bass Pro is gonna do, maximize profit. It was a choice Cabela's made to abandon their decades long business model and sell out to the corporate monster model.

@@huntsimple9527 I suppose the answer to that is only known by the people involved. But one thing is certain, cabelas has not been the same since. They used to be my go to for almost everything hunting related. Now, I rarely shop there.

Nope bass pro ruined cabelas.

Bibs are for sure one of the keys to long sits on cold stands. Good luck.

Agreed. I think it is really good for the price - maybe unbeatable.

My guess is that Ev was the one that created that series at Cabela's so many years ago. This is very nice stuff and for the price it is super hard to beat.

@@bill-winke I was guessing the same.

Tom, I believe he did. He was the clothing lead designer at Cabela's for 20 years. Good luck.

Good move. Some of the better clothing and base layers will make a real difference in how warm you can stay. Good luck.

Only downside is the fleece picks up burrs and stick-tights so you need to avoid those areas or (as I do) carry it to the stand and put it on when you get there. Good luck.

@@bill-winkeoh yes carry to the stand is important!

Yes, they are really nice hunting garments for the money. Have a great day.

Thanks Gouch. Yes, we have been very impressed with all the Code of Silence garments. Ethan and I love to make fun of Ev for that hat design. (Ethan and Ev both have the same hometown in Kearney, NE). Ev has some fancy name for that hat that isn't published. Stormy Chromer or something like that. Good old Ev. He is awesome.

Ha!! I have a stormy chromer also!! Luke 9:62

Yes, for the price, this stuff is really hard to beat.

Thanks for the comment. I am sure Ev appreciates the good words.

Bill, i forgot to add terrific customer service! Something that has gone to the wayside with companies anymore. They were awesome to deal with!

Thanks Joshua. They do make really nice stuff at a good honest price.

Yes, I bet he adds one someday. I thought that also. Maybe there is something that makes it hard to produce a bib that thin in this material. Not sure.

Yes, it is warm stuff and blends in really, really well. I have be super impressed with that part too.

Milo, I am sure you will love them. Thanks for supporting our sponsor. Have a great day and a happy new year.

Got my bibs today- super fast shipping for economy. The bibs are absolutely well made and the fit is perfect( Large Reg. N I’m 6-1 205). I wore at 35 degrees and was perfectly comfortable with single under layer and my deer jacket over top. I am so glad I listened to Bill (finally lol) and bought these. I cannot recommend enough!! Milo

Thanks for supporting the sponsors Glenn. I appreciate it and I do think you will really like that stuff. Have a great day.

@@bill-winke yes sir and it's a honor having you reply to my comment. Hope you have a Great and Blessed day as well

I believe you will like it. Have a great day.

You are welcome Mike. I appreciate the comment.

We like to pick on Ev about that cap. When I first started working with him back in 2004 the line we came up with had a hat very similar to that in style. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder! Have a great day.

I think you will really like it Scott. Have a great day.

I think you will like this stuff Joseph. You may like the bigger pack as it has a light internal frame to give it even more support along with a waist belt for carrying heavier loads on your hips as well as your back. Good luck.

My only regret is my larger pack that isn't as functional as my smaller pack. But with the COS I could put my Wild Edge platform in that extra pouch & put other gear in the pack. My climbing line is in a bundle & I keep that outside the pack. Just one buckle strap holds it in place while the carabiner for my rope goes through a loop on the top of the pack. Very light but as I get older a smaller pack just won't hold the cold weather gear I need to perform @ a high level. 😮😮😮

Ev and I have talked about another run of that garment. Ev was the guy I worked with back in 2004 when we came out with the first one.

Yea. Doesn't take much to be stylin' there. Or at Buzzards for that matter!

OK, I will do a review of one here soon. Thanks for the support.

It is really nice. I know they plan to start selling it soon. I think this is one of the few Ev had as a prototype. I was the lucky one!

Makes sense. I will mention it to Ev. He is very good at listening to customers so maybe that feature will be part of the next generation. Have a great day.

Thank you. Good luck with late season!@@bill-winke

Excellent. I am sure you will like it. Have a great day.

Michael, I would not hesitate to mix those lines. I believe I was wearing the Versa jacket www.codeofsilence.com/collections/jackets-and-tops/products/zone7-versa-hooded-jacket with the Dialed In bibs www.codeofsilence.com/collections/pants-and-bibs/products/zone7-dialed-in-pant. Works well for me. Good luck and have a great day.

That is disappointing, Paul. Did you get ahold of them? Not that they can solve that short-term, but I am sure they would want to know so they can fix any sizing issues in those larger garments long-term.

@@bill-winke hi Bill, thanks for checking in with me. Yes, I gave them details in an email and some more details on the return form. I honestly think some of the garments were mislabeled as 2X when they weren’t. I can’t believe that their sizes would run that much smaller than every other manufacturer. One of the pants I held up to myself and thought , maybe these would’ve fit me when I was 15. Haha Truthfully, I’m not really in the market for new camo, but because of the sale, I wanted to try some things. I was really excited to be getting them and looking forward to using them. Maybe down the road someday. I’m glad you were able to interview your friend and have him explain all the different uses for the different lines. Have a good off-season, and I look forward to seeing more of your videos in the new year.

You aren't the first one to make that comment. I bet he adds more sizes over time.

I laughed at that too. Ev must run at a higher body temperature than me. I would say 20s for a stand sit. But that is still pretty good for a mid-weight garment. Good luck.

Not 100% sure. You better call COS on that one. They are for sure high water on me but I have a 35/36 inseam. They are probably 32 if I had to guess. Maybe 33.

I think it would be bad in an honest to goodness rain storm. I would want dedicated rain gear under those conditions.

Yes. So does the super warm Coldfjall system. Dialed In bibs are not as heavy.

I contacted Ev about that so he is aware of it. That site opens on my desktop PC but won't open on my phone. Scheels also carries it.

@@bill-winke Thanks Bill! Love your content here. Been hunting with my Dad since I was 12. He’s 79 now and still hunts with me. It’s awesome your daughter is with you. Thanks for all you do.

Same here but I always carry it to the stand. The pants and bibs have super long zippers so you can slip them over anything. Good luck.

@@bill-winke Thanks Bill. I love your channel! One of my favorites on KZfaq! That property you own is a slice of paradise.

I don't know. I have not tried the Sitka clothing. I think the sizing is pretty true. I do think the bibs are a bit large, but not by much. I think everything else is pretty close to other outerwear I have worn over the years. Good luck.

You can learn more at www.goxidar.com/ I like it for the most part. But it is not a replacement for a four-wheeler as there are things a four-wheeler can do that these can't (carrying loads, going long distances, carrying a passenger, going off-trail). This is really good for on-trail super stealth entry and exit to stands and blinds and for checking trail cameras, etc. But you aren't going to haul a deer out with this. I wish someone would actually just make a total replacement for an ATV that has the same functions and specs but is all electric.

@@bill-winke if it can go in the woods quietly and drag a deer out that's all I need really!

@@bill-winke also thanks for your reply I no you have thousands of questions to answer, Happy New Year 🎊!!!!

@@bill-winke wow it can't haul a deer and it coast 7k-15k man I've seen $800 dollar ebikes hauling deer long distance.

@@bill-winke What's the hold up on electric 4wheelers they have an electric Polaris side bby side but it coast 15k-to 20k us poor hunters can't afford them.

I think this stuff blends into the trees better than anything I have ever worn. Good luck and thanks for the comment.

Your welcome bub!

I don't think so, but you had better call them to be sure. Good luck.

Yes. We hunted on the Platte near Kearney for 3 days. No luck but we had a nice time.

@@bill-winke nice looked kinda familiar never hunted on the platte but know the area. It’s been a little weird this year and with it being as warm as it’s been they have been pretty spread out still and they also seem extra wild after rifle season lol. Nonetheless super cool you came in and hunted!

It has a wind proof insulation layer, so technically it is windproof.

Correct. Quiet, blends in well and warm, but not scent containing in any way. Good luck.
