FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Vass-Tex 175 material?

The Vass-Tex 175 material is ultra-lightweight with bi-stretch properties, offering maximum comfort and freedom of movement while remaining 100% waterproof, windproof, and breathable.

Are these bib and braces suitable for cold weather?

The bib and braces provide excellent protection against wind and water. For cold weather, layering with appropriate thermal base and mid-layers is recommended, as the garment itself is not insulated.

How should I clean the bib and braces?

Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a mild, non-biological liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Drip dry naturally.

Can I use fabric softener on this garment?

No, fabric softener should not be used as it can compromise the waterproof and breathable properties of the Vass-Tex 175 material.

What does 'quad-welded seams' mean?

Quad-welded seams mean that the seams have been welded four times, creating an exceptionally strong and waterproof bond, far more durable than traditional stitching.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or the retailer's website for specific warranty information, as this can vary.

Are there other color options available?

This specific product listing is for the black color. Other Vass products in the -Tex 175 Series may be available in different colors, but availability can vary.

Troubleshooting

Bib and brace feels damp inside.

Ensure the garment is properly cared for. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the outer fabric is absorbing water. Check that ventilation is not obstructed.

Seams appear to be separating.

Inspect the quad-welded seams. If any separation is observed, cease use and contact customer support. While extremely durable, extreme stress could potentially affect seams.

Reduced waterproof performance.

Clean the garment thoroughly according to care instructions. Water repellency can be restored with a specific fabric re-proofer spray designed for waterproof and breathable materials.
