FAQs
What material is the Mandal Bib made from?
The bib is constructed from 100% Polyester with a PVC coating, weighing 410 g/m².
Is this garment suitable for very cold weather?
While it offers excellent waterproofing, it is not insulated. For cold weather, layering appropriate thermal garments underneath is recommended.
How do I adjust the suspenders?
The suspenders are elastic and adjustable via buckles or sliders, allowing you to lengthen or shorten them for a secure fit over your shoulders.
What does EN 343 3,1 certification mean?
EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing against foul weather. A rating of 3,1 indicates a high level of protection against water penetration (Class 3) and a moderate level of resistance to passage of water vapor (Class 1).
Can I machine wash the bib?
Yes, you can machine wash it cold with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, high heat drying, and ironing.
Does it have external pockets?
The primary storage feature is an inner chest pocket with a zipper. There are no external pockets on the main body of the bib.
What is the purpose of the PVC coating?
The PVC coating provides the primary waterproof barrier and adds durability and resistance to abrasion, making the garment suitable for rugged work environments.
Troubleshooting
Water leakage through seams
Ensure seams are intact. If damage is present, professional repair or replacement may be needed. Check that the garment is not worn or compromised.
Suspect reduced waterproofness
Clean the garment according to care instructions. Surface treatments might degrade over time; reassess after washing. Check for any visible damage to the fabric or coating.
Fit is uncomfortable or loose
Adjust the elastic suspenders to the desired length and secure the waist snap buttons to achieve a snugger fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements.
Zipper on inner pocket is stiff
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Lubricate with a small amount of wax or graphite. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth.
