Full details

The Portwest Bib Apron in Navy is designed for adults seeking a practical and stylish solution for protection against spills and splashes. Its key benefit is its high water resistance, keeping you dry in various work environments. A minor consideration is its slim fit, which prioritizes comfort and might feel snug for some users. Key features include an extremely water-resistant eco-conscious fabric finish, an adjustable neck tie for a secure fit, and anti-tangle ties for easy fastening.

FAQs

What material is the Portwest Bib Apron made from?

The apron is made from 100% Polyester Kingsmill fabric, weighing 245g.

What are the dimensions of the apron?

The apron measures 72cm in width by 95cm in length.

Is the water resistance permanent?

The Texpel™ Splash Eco fabric finish provides excellent water resistance. Like all finishes, it can degrade over time with heavy use and improper care. Following the recommended washing instructions will help maintain its performance.

Can I machine wash the apron?

Yes, the apron can be machine washed at a moderate temperature (e.g., 40°C). Avoid bleach and tumble dry on a low heat setting.

Does the apron come in other colors?

The product description mentions availability in navy and red, though this guide specifically focuses on the navy variant.

Is the apron suitable for heavy-duty industrial use?

While durable and water-resistant, this apron is best suited for protection against splashes and spills rather than abrasive or heavy-duty industrial applications that might require more robust materials.

Troubleshooting

Apron ties are difficult to fasten or come undone

Ensure the anti-tangle ties are properly aligned before tying. If they continue to loosen, try a different knotting technique.

Water is soaking through the fabric

Check the care instructions; excessive heat or harsh detergents can degrade the water-resistant finish. Ensure the fabric is not damaged. Re-apply a suitable water-repellent treatment if necessary.

Apron feels too tight or restrictive

Adjust the neck tie to its loosest setting. For ongoing comfort, consider if the slim fit is appropriate for your needs or if a more relaxed fit apron would be better.
