There are other models, which do not cover as much, and instead are meant to be worn over regular pants.
Example snow pants from Google Image Search for "snow pants":
Oaf means someone who is clumsy and foolish, but doesn't say anything about intent or how others perceive the person. A lovable oaf is more specifically what you mean, but of course isn't a single word.
Come to think of it, buffoon is really close, but maybe a bit more insulting than your intent.
