FAQs
How do I adjust the leg length on the Rider 2 Bib?
The leg length can be extended by unfolding internal seams located at the hem of each leg. This feature is designed to accommodate a child's growth over time.
What type of insulation is used in this bib?
The bib uses recycled PrimaLoft® insulation, known for its warmth, breathability, and ability to insulate even when damp, while also being environmentally conscious.
Is this bib suitable for heavy rain as well as snow?
Yes, the Helly Tech® Performance technology is waterproof and breathable, making it suitable for protection against both snow and rain.
How often should I reapply the DWR treatment?
The frequency of reapplication depends on usage and washing habits. A good indicator is when water no longer beads up on the fabric surface. Typically, reapplication is recommended after several washes or significant wear.
Can I use regular detergent to wash the bib?
It is recommended to use a mild detergent specifically designed for technical outdoor clothing. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's performance properties.
Are there any specific cleaning instructions for the reflective logos?
Wash according to the garment's care label. Avoid harsh scrubbing directly on the reflective logos to maintain their reflectivity. Tumble drying on low heat usually helps to preserve them.
Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Ensure the DWR treatment is active. Wash the garment according to care instructions and tumble dry on low heat. If performance has significantly degraded, consider reapplying a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor gear.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and a small amount of water. Apply a small amount of beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Bib feels too tight or too loose.
Adjust the elasticated side panels and the suspenders for a better fit. Check if the leg length extension needs to be deployed or adjusted.
