Summary

The 686 Thinker Shell Bib is part of the Forest Bailey collection and for the price point, it seems to have some pretty cool design features. It is constructed of a waterproof laminate fabric with tape seams. The fit is fairly relaxed and there is a really interesting pocket design on the chest.
