Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this garment machine washable?

It is recommended to spot clean or hand wash to preserve the waterproof coating. Harsh machine cycles can damage the material and the technical lining.

Can I wear this in freezing temperatures?

Yes, the 60gsm taffeta lining provides a base layer of warmth. For extreme cold, pairing it with thermal leggings underneath is recommended.

Are the knees reinforced?

Yes, the product features nylon oxford reinforced knees for added durability and protection when working on the ground.

What does 'ski-lock' strap mean?

It refers to an adjustable strap mechanism that secures tightly and holds its position, commonly found on ski gear to prevent the braces from slipping off the shoulders.

Does this provide protection against wind?

The dense polyester outer shell acts as a very effective windbreaker, protecting you from cold gusts during outdoor work.

Are the cuffs adjustable?

Yes, the garment features hook & loop adjustable cuffs to seal out water, mud, and wind at the ankles.

Troubleshooting

Water starting to seep through outer fabric

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need reapplying. Use a specialized spray-on DWR treatment after cleaning the garment.

Shoulder straps slipping during movement

Ensure the ski-lock mechanism is fully engaged and the straps are not twisted. Check that the plastic buckle is not cracked or obstructed by debris.

Difficulty reaching items under the bib

Utilize the integrated waterproof access zips designed specifically for this purpose rather than pulling the side of the bib open.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproof performance for wet work
  • Reinforced knees significantly increase garment lifespan
  • Thermal lining offers reliable warmth in cold conditions
  • Adjustable straps ensure a versatile and comfortable fit

Cons

  • Heavier polyester construction can be less breathable
  • Bulkier profile compared to standard trousers
  • Requires careful hand-cleaning to maintain waterproof integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best performance, adjust the ski-lock shoulder straps before starting your task to ensure the bib sits high on the chest. To maintain the waterproof properties, avoid machine washing with harsh detergents; instead, spot clean with a damp cloth or hand wash in cool water using a technical cleaner suitable for waterproof fabrics. Hang dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the waterproofing membrane over time. Store the garment in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent mildew buildup.
