FAQs

No, knee pads are not included with the Portwest CD850 WX2 Eco Stretch Bib and Brace and must be purchased separately. The garment features bottom-loading pockets designed to accommodate compatible knee pads.

What is the main advantage of the stretch panelling?

The innovative stretch panelling in key movement areas provides excellent comfort and flexibility, allowing for a greater range of motion during work activities such as bending, kneeling, and stretching.

How many pockets does this bib and brace have?

The Portwest CD850 WX2 Eco Stretch Bib and Brace features a total of 12 pockets, including chest pockets with zip closure, side pockets, back pockets, a thigh pocket with zip closure, a rule pocket, a pen pocket, and a spanner pocket.

What does UPF 40+ rating mean?

UPF 40+ stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 40+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of harmful UV radiation, offering significant protection against sun exposure.

Can this garment be washed in a machine?

Is this product suitable for both men and women?

Yes, the Portwest CD850 WX2 Eco Stretch Bib and Brace is designed as unisex workwear, suitable for adult wearers regardless of gender.

What materials is the bib and brace made from?

The primary material is a durable polycotton fabric. A significant portion of the polyester used is recycled, making it an eco-friendlier choice.

Troubleshooting

Straps are uncomfortable or too tight/loose

Adjust the shoulder straps using the buckles for a personalized fit. Ensure the bib is sitting correctly on your chest without excessive tension.

Knee pads do not stay in place

Ensure you are using the correct size knee pads for the pockets and that they are fully inserted into the bottom-loading compartment. The stretch panels around the knee pockets are designed to help secure them.

Pockets seem too small for specific tools

While the bib offers 12 pockets, consider using the larger thigh or back pockets for bulkier items. For specialized tools, a separate tool belt might be more practical.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes occur with durable fabrics. Follow the ironing instructions or wear the garment for a short period to soften it. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not over-drying.
