Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these bib pants suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, they are designed for extended wear in outdoor work environments. The lightweight and flexible polyester material aims to provide comfort during prolonged use.

Do I need to wear a base layer underneath?

It is recommended to wear appropriate work attire underneath for comfort and protection. These bib pants are designed to be worn over other clothing.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Adjust the suspenders to your preferred length and ensure the ankle zippers are closed snugly around your boots. The goal is a secure fit that allows for movement without constriction.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

Yes, machine wash in lukewarm water at 40°C. Avoid using bleach, tumble drying, ironing, or dry cleaning, as these can damage the fabric and its waterproof properties.

What is the main benefit of the double-layered knees?

The double-layered knees provide enhanced durability and protection in an area that experiences significant wear and tear from kneeling or abrasion.

Is the hi-vis feature effective in all lighting conditions?

The 3M reflex material is highly effective in low-light conditions when illuminated by a light source (like headlights). It provides good visibility in daylight due to its bright color.

What material is used for the bib pants?

The main fabric is 100% Polyester with a PU coating, weighing 170 g/m².

Troubleshooting

Bib pants not fully waterproof

Ensure all seams are intact and that the PU coating is not damaged. Check that the bib pants are properly paired with a waterproof jacket and that all closures are sealed.

Suspenders are uncomfortable or slip

Adjust the suspender length to a comfortable fit. Ensure they are securely attached and not twisted. If issues persist, consider if the sizing is appropriate.

Ankle zippers are difficult to operate

Check the zippers for debris or fabric obstructions. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If necessary, apply a small amount of wax or silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Reduced visibility despite hi-vis features

Ensure the 3M reflex material is clean and free from dirt or mud, as this can obscure its reflective properties. Avoid covering the reflective strips with other garments.
