Open water requires special weather protection, which is why we like the Mustang Survival Taku Waterproof Bib to keep our lower bodies dry. The brand's Marinespec SP shell is waterproof and windproof to protect us from the elements while also breathable to release pent-up heat and moisture. The water-resistant zippers also keep the weather out and let us unzip for some ventilation and the occasional bathroom break. The low bulk fit and low profile pockets are made to prevent snags and keep us mobile while we're working and fishing. The bib cut offers more coverage than typical rainpants and integrates seamlessly with the Taku Waterproof Jacket to keep us warm and dry on the water.
