The Full Story

A shell only works if the rest of you stays dry too — which is where the Oceanus Pro Bib comes in. The same Toray Dermizax® Protect Hybrid fabric and PFC-free treatment seal out water while letting sweat escape, so you don't trade a soaking for a steaming. Reinforced knees and rump take the abuse of kneeling, hauling, and sitting on wet decks, while heavy-duty boot closures, knee-high side zippers, and waterproof tricot-lined pockets handle the details. Paired with the Oceanus jacket, it completes a head-to-boot barrier against the worst the water can throw.

Layer with

Dry from the boots up.

A jacket keeps your top half dry. The rest of you still has to kneel on wet decks, wade the shallows, and sit in the spray all day. The Oceanus Pro Bib is the other half of the barrier — built so the worst weather stops at your boots, not your waistline.

MADE FOR THE HARDEST HALF OF THE DAY

Where a bib takes the beating, this one's reinforced.

Reinforced Knees & Rump

Double-layer reinforcement exactly where a bib wears out first — kneeling on the deck, sitting on wet aluminum, hauling gear over the rail.

Heavy-Duty Boot Closures

Adjustable Velcro closures with knee-high side zippers seal the bib to your boots and make getting in and out fast, even in a hurry.

Articulated Knee Design

Pre-shaped knees move with you, so you can crouch, climb, and work all day without the fabric fighting you or bunching behind the knee.

33,800 mm Waterproof

Among the most protective ratings made — not a single raindrop breaks through, in the most torrential conditions on the water.

Breathes While It Blocks

A 9,300 mm breathability rating and hydrophobic membrane let your body heat's moisture escape, so you don't get soaked from the inside.

Protection Without the Pollution

PFC-free DWR, a non-fluorinated film, and 100% recycled nylon — extreme performance that doesn't poison the water it's built for.

YKK® AquaGuard®

The most water-resistant zipper made, on the one seam that has to open — so the entry point isn't the weak point.

Welded Seam Construction

No stitch holes means no leak points; the whole bib is bonded, not just sewn

Why we built this

Made by two guys who actually fish.

We got tired of gear that quit before the day did — base layers that stank by noon, shells that soaked through, "performance" that was mostly marketing. So we built our own, tested it on the water we love, and give 5% of proceeds back to protecting it. If it doesn't survive our worst days on the water, it doesn't get our name.
