Browning Highland Windcutter is hard to beat for the money, around $100 on sale if you search the net. Been using a pair for a couple of years now and no complaints 'cept like most wool they look for the cuckleburs but they are warm and comfortable without being gawd-awful heavy.

King of the mountain, and Gray Wolf Woolens is another good one. I'm sure there are others, did you check out the sponsors above ?

Gray Wolf Woolens. Their wool is top of the line, but also take a look at the Wolfskin with Comfortmax and Lite Loft linings. Fantastic stuff!  Not cheap, but very well made in the USA, custom fit and built for you. I've had a set of the unlined for probably 10 years now and they still look great. And I wear them a lot!

I have the day one wool bibs with windstop and insulation. They are CRAZY warm. Up here in southern Ontario I only where them during the coldest of days. They are fantastic!

I have the Cabelas stand hunter bibs and jacket, too warm for anything but the most bitter cold.

Day one Camo will make you some.. You can get wool or fleece... Either with wind stop!  Nice stuff...

Fleece is a little cheaper, about 1/2 the price and holds up nice, but wool is the top shelf...

King of The Mountain is great (wool). But here in VA and most states I have used the brown Carrharts (Artic) insulated for years and stayed cozy warm down to temps in the singal digits. And when on the ground boy do they blend in.

I use Gray Wolf Woolen bibs when it gets cold.  Sold my KOM's, but they worked real good too.  For many years my insulated Carhart worked just fine.  For the money the Carharts are the best value and the Gray Wolf are warmest.

I have KOM bibs, but purchased a pair of Sitka celsius bibs and really like them.  Warm, not heavy to carry, comfortable.....  Only thing I don't like is the camo pattern for where I hunt.

I have a pair of Columbia wool bibs that I picked up second hand. They keep me toasty.
