I wear my filson wool bibs all of the time, even in ga. I like the bibs as they are easier to layer as the waist if not tight. I have the filson pants too but I can not tuck a heavy shirt into them so I dont wear them as often. the bibs still stay up if you layer down but you can really stuff them with a heavy shirt or two as well as my filson vest. I never wash them either, just let the blood or whater dry and then brush them off. Had a filso "single weight" cruiser on my Christmas list but will wait until next fall as other priorities have come up.
