Product Information

Full details

The Hydrowear Sandhurst Hydrosoft Waterproof Bib and Brace is an ideal choice for agricultural workers, industrial professionals, and outdoor enthusiasts who require dependable protection from the elements without the bulk of traditional heavy-duty gear. Crafted from lightweight 170gsm PU coated polyester, this unisex garment offers exceptional water resistance while maintaining ease of movement. While it provides excellent protection against wet conditions, users should note that its EN343 breathability rating is Class 1, meaning it is better suited for intermittent activity rather than high-intensity, sweat-inducing labor.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this garment machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash or wipe down with a damp cloth to preserve the integrity of the PU waterproof coating.

What does EN343 Class 3 mean?

It is the highest rating for water penetration, confirming the fabric can withstand significant water pressure during heavy rainfall.

Does it have pockets?

The core design focuses on a streamlined, waterproof profile; please check the specific garment interior for integrated utility pockets.

Can I wear this in extreme heat?

Due to the waterproof material and low breathability rating, it is not recommended for high-temperature environments as it may lead to overheating.

How should I store the bib and brace?

Store hanging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the PU coating over time.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking through

Check the exterior for small punctures or tears. If the surface is clean but water is absorbed, the PU coating may need re-waterproofing treatment.

Excessive moisture buildup inside

This is likely due to the Class 1 breathability rating. Ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers and reduce internal exertion levels.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight construction reduces fatigue during long shifts
  • High-grade waterproof rating for reliable protection
  • Adjustable features offer a customizable and secure fit
  • Durable PU coating is easy to wipe clean after muddy tasks
  • Versatile application from farm work to industrial site use

Cons

  • Class 1 breathability rating may cause heat buildup during heavy exertion
  • Limited ventilation compared to more expensive professional shells
  • Material may be prone to snagging on sharp metal surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To maximize the lifespan of your Sandhurst Hydrosoft gear, ensure the bib is worn over base layers that wick moisture effectively. When adjusting for fit, utilize the side press studs to tighten the legs over your footwear before heading out. To clean, rinse the exterior with cold water and a mild, non-abrasive detergent; never use a tumble dryer or iron, as these can damage the PU coating. Always hang the garment in a cool, ventilated space to dry naturally after use to prevent mildew buildup.
