Magellan Ozark Bibs Review

Since hunting can be one of the most grueling outdoor adventures, Magellan’s Men’s Ozark insulated bib is made to withstand the wildest weather. The lining makes it so that you’ll never freeze, with an outer shell that can take all that fall precip. Throw in their time-tested camo brought to you by Mossy Oak and buying a pair of Magellan Ozarks is a no-brainer.

Magellan Ozark Bib Specs

This Ozark Bib is probably about the best you could ever hope to get at a price that you could swing on even the tightest budget. We start with the 100% polyester brushed micro-tricot knit material for the perfect blend of windproofness, water repellency and comfort. You can move quick and smoothly, without the loud rustling of hardcore synthetics like Gore-Tex. Throw in the sealed seams and the reinforced knees and this is one of the best bangs for your buck you can get.

Magellan Outdoors has been making gear since 1999. They cater to people looking to outfit the whole family, who hunt hard and have been for 20 years. Speaking of heritage, thought, the wood camo is from Mossy Oak. Mossy Oak is the gold standard of camo, with a widely accepted reputation as a versatile pattern that fits in most environments, you’d be hard-pressed to find an avid hunter who doesn’t own some Mossy Oak camo. And many outfit everything from pant to gun in it. But how did it do?

Testing

Field Testing the Magellan Ozark Bibs

Those freezing, zero-dark-thirty mornings in a tree stand or blind can break your focus faster than anything else. When you are sitting stationary for hours waiting for a buck to step out, your choice of heavy insulation dictates exactly how long you can stay in the field. Balancing budget-friendly price points with robust thermal heat retention is a major focus of our field audits, and you can cross-reference how we rank value-driven gear configurations in our master directory of the best hunting gear for cold weather.

Putting the Magellan Ozark Bibs through their paces in late-fall conditions, the very first thing I noticed was how well that brushed micro-tricot knit cuts a biting mountain wind. It traps body heat instantly without creating a bulky, restrictive profile that messes with your mobility when it is finally time to stand up and take a shot.

Magellan Ozark Bibs Pros & Cons

Pros:

Overall Impression

The Magellan Ozark Bib: A Hunting Companion For the Real Ones.

There are sturdy hunting brands, and there are legacied brands, and there are affordable brands. But rarely do these three combine into one piece of outerwear like the Magellan Ozark Bibs ($69.99) to also perform better than almost any other hunting brand. If you push far beyond the limits so should your gear. And Magellan’s Ozark bibs punch above and beyond anything comparable.

So go get yours.
