Thoughts on bibs?

I'm in the market for new pants (mine have tons of holes in them), and I've been looking into some bib pants. Are they significantly warmer? I don't want to end up being too warm and sweating because of the bib. I'm specifically looking at the north face skull horns. Also any suggestion on some other khaki snow pants or bibs would be nice.

Bibs really dont add extra warmth (unless the bases of it start around the tits) which unless it was made in 1980 it probably doesnt. Bottom line: Bibs serve the purpose of keeping your pants up, not for warmth.

I do find bibs warmer, but if you dont wear too many layers, it should be fine. On warm days it may be too hot though.

I think they do add a fair it of warmth to clothing. If i had to put a number on it i would say 5-10 degrees warmer

I love my air raid bibs. Gotta watch out for stinky bin farts though

They're slightly warmer as in none of your body skin will ever be remotely exposed. Snow in your crack/anywhere else on your waist will never happen again.
