FAQs

What specific hazards does this bib & brace protect against?

It provides protection against radiant, convective, and contact heat, as well as flame exposure, arc flashes (specific levels), and static electricity. It also offers UV protection.

Can I wash this garment at home?

Yes, you can machine wash it at 75°C. However, it is also designed to withstand industrial laundering and tunnel drying at higher temperatures.

Are knee pads included with the bib & brace?

No, knee pads are not included. They must be purchased separately and inserted into the two-tier pockets for full knee protection.

Is this garment suitable for use around electrical hazards?

Yes, the 100% metal-free design significantly reduces risks from electrical and thermal hazards in sensitive environments.

What does CE-CAT III mean?

CE-CAT III signifies that the garment falls into the highest category of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for complex risks, requiring rigorous testing and certification.

What is the UPF rating, and why is it important?

The UPF rating of 40+ means the fabric blocks 98% of UV rays, offering significant protection against sun exposure during outdoor work.

What are the washing restrictions?

Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Do not iron prints. Wash inside out with liquid detergent. For best results and to maintain protective properties, follow the specific temperature guidelines for both washing and tumble drying.

Troubleshooting

Garment losing flame-retardant properties

Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed, especially regarding detergent type, temperature, and avoiding bleach or fabric softeners.

Discomfort due to fit

Utilize the adjustable hem and elasticated shoulder straps to achieve a personalized fit. Ensure correct sizing was initially selected.

Knee pad pockets not effective

Ensure you are using compatible knee pads designed for workwear and that they are correctly inserted into the two-tier pockets.

Color fading significantly

Wash inside out and use liquid detergent. While the fabric has good color fastness, extreme washing conditions can accelerate fading. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight when drying.
