If you bend over to do something and your upper clothes ride up, your skin gets exposed to the elements and you lose a lot of heat. A bib and brace keeps everything in check and prevents it from happening. You are also benefiting from a double layer of thick insulation from the waist to the chest if you are wearing a winter suit.

in winter its primarily warmth and dryness, very few carpers wear bib n brace in summer but alot of matchmen still do,that mainly due to the mess of fish slime, groundbait etc. the summer ones the matchmen wear are unlined.

Bit of a stupid question but I'll ask it anyway, what's the point of a bib n brace...ie benefits?
