Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these suitable for deep winter work?

Yes, the 60gsm taffeta lining provides significant warmth suitable for most winter outdoor activities when paired with appropriate underlayers.

Can I wash these in a standard machine?

Yes, use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach or heavy-duty fabric softeners.

Are the knees waterproof?

The reinforced knees feature the same waterproof material as the rest of the shell, providing excellent protection against damp ground.

How do I ensure the right fit for the waist?

The bib and brace design relies more on the adjustable shoulder straps for height and the overall cut for waist comfort. Use a standard measuring tape around the natural waistline to compare with the size guide.

Are the pockets truly waterproof?

The pockets are designed to be weather-resistant and concealed, but they are not fully submersible. Always store electronic devices in a secondary dry bag.

Troubleshooting

Waterproofing appears less effective over time

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need to be reactivated. Wash the garment and apply a spray-on technical waterproofing treatment.

Shoulder straps sliding out of adjustment

Ensure the ski-lock mechanism is clicked firmly into the locked position. Clean the buckle of any dirt or mud that may be preventing it from seating correctly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal regulation for cold weather
  • Highly durable reinforced knee and stress areas
  • Effective waterproofing against heavy rain
  • Secure, adjustable fit with ski-lock buckles
  • Functional storage options for tools and gear

Cons

  • Material is heavier than standard trousers
  • Less breathable during strenuous exertion
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain water-repellent coating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your bib and brace, adjust the shoulder straps first while standing to ensure the crotch area is not restricted. When choosing layers, note that the 60gsm lining is warm enough that you may only need a thin moisture-wicking base layer underneath.

Care instructions include washing in cold water on a gentle cycle to preserve the waterproof membrane. Do not use fabric softeners, as they can break down the technical coating. Air drying is strongly recommended; avoid high heat, as it can damage the specialized synthetic outer material. Inspect the zips regularly for debris to maintain their waterproof seal.
