Product Information

Full details

The Hoggs of Fife Green King II Waterproof Thermal Bib & Brace is an essential outdoor garment for adults who require reliable protection against wet and cold conditions, such as farmers, hunters, or field workers. Designed to provide comprehensive coverage and warmth through its 60gsm taffeta lining and waterproof outer shell, it ensures you stay dry in harsh environments; however, users should note that the rugged polyester build is optimized for heavy-duty protection rather than lightweight activity.

FAQs

Is this garment machine washable?

It is recommended to wash by hand or use a gentle cycle with specialized technical gear soap to protect the waterproof lining.

Can I wear these over my normal trousers?

Yes, the fit is designed to accommodate standard clothing underneath, providing an extra layer of insulation and weather protection.

How do I ensure I get the right size?

Refer to the waist measurement in inches (e.g., 30", 32", 34") and account for any thick clothing you plan to wear underneath.

Are the knees padded?

They are reinforced with durable nylon oxford fabric, providing extra abrasion resistance, though they do not contain thick foam padding.

Is the material breathable?

While the material is fully waterproof, the polyester construction is designed for warmth and protection rather than high-breathability for intense exertion.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking into the outer layer

The DWR finish may have worn off. Apply a technical re-waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester fabrics.

Shoulder straps sliding during movement

Check that the ski-lock mechanism is fully engaged and the straps are tightened appropriately for your torso length.

Difficulty moving in the bibs

Ensure the waist and straps are not pulled too tight. The garment is designed to be roomy enough for layering underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation for freezing temperatures
  • High-level waterproof construction keeps the wearer dry
  • Strategic reinforcements in high-wear areas like the knees
  • Adjustable straps ensure a comfortable, personalized fit
  • Functional storage options for outdoor tools

Cons

  • Material may feel bulky during high-intensity activity
  • Limited to a specific color palette (Green)
  • Requires proper care to maintain waterproof integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your gear, proper maintenance is essential:

  • Fitting: Adjust the ski-lock shoulder straps to a height that allows full range of motion. The bib should sit comfortably on your chest without digging into your shoulders.
  • Care Instructions: Wipe away mud and debris after each use with a damp cloth. If washing is necessary, use a mild technical garment detergent. Always air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the waterproof coating.
  • Re-waterproofing: Over time, you may need to apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the outer polyester shell to maintain its hydrophobic properties.
