Recommended bibs "that time of year"

[Chaws]

It's that time again to have a lengthly discussion on good bibs out there. I'm looking for a new set of gear, my waterfowling bibs don't quite cut it anymore with the water proofing wearing out and no padded knees. What are some good options out there that people are enjoying?

The best bibs I use for ice fishing are Ice Armor bibs, both the Edge and Lift models.  I've used the Edge bibs for 7 years now and they've held up very well.  No leaks, tears, seams coming out, nothing.  Upgraded to the Lift suit this year and so far, I'm liking the bibs just as much.  Warm, waterproof, windproof, lots of leg room, and plenty of storage.

The Son and I have the Climate suit and the wife has the Hardwater suit

The best suit I've worn is the cabelas guide wear insulated bibs. I tried every brand out and found that these were the most comfortable ones. Ive had them for 1.5 seasons and when these wear out, I will be getting another pair. Watch out for sales, these bibs go on sale a couple times a year, normally they are 300+ if I remember correctly and I paid somewhere between 150-180 on the sale. I fish outside and kneel in the snow/slush/water and I have yet to have water leak into the bibs on over 50 days of use so far.
