Recommendation for ice fishing bibs and coat

[Chuuk]

You have received more than enough good advice, but take this for whats its worth. I went back and forth about 5 years ago when I decided to quite wearing my old snowboarding pants ice fishing and wanted bibs, but didnt know whether to get insulated or uninsulated. I ended up going with the Cabelas guide gear uninsulated and here is why. I hate to sweat and when walking in insulated gear I sweat. I already owned many different weights of layers and can layer accordingly based on the temp. Plus once we get the tent up, we are usually fairly warm and insulated bibs would be overkill. The guide gear pants from Cabelas have been very water proof and wind proof. I usually wear a thin layer of UA long underwear and then a heavier, polar fleece pant under them and I can be good in about -10 and up. In late winter early spring, I lose the polar fleece and am perfect.
