FAQs
What makes this bib and brace 'eco-friendly'?
The WX2 Eco Collection uses certified recycled fabric, contributing to a reduced environmental footprint compared to virgin materials.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Adjust the shoulder straps and hem, and utilize the half-elasticated waist. The product is also designed with adjustable leg length to accommodate different heights.
Can I wear this in hot weather?
While designed for durability and protection, the material may be warm in very high temperatures. The stretch panels and adjustable features aim to maximize comfort. Consider layering appropriately.
How many pockets does it have?
This bib and brace features a total of 16 pockets, offering extensive storage for tools and personal items.
What does '40 UPF rated fabric' mean?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A 40 UPF rating means the fabric blocks at least 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays.
How often should I wash this garment?
Follow standard washing instructions for workwear. However, note that CE certification for high visibility is guaranteed up to 50 washes. Avoid over-washing.
Are knee pads included?
Knee pads are not included but can be inserted into the dedicated bottom-loading knee pad pockets.
Troubleshooting
Visibility reduced after washing
Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely, avoiding fabric softeners or harsh detergents that can degrade reflective material. Wash no more than 50 times to maintain certified visibility.
Stains not repelling effectively
The Texpel™ Eco finish may be diminished with excessive washing or incorrect cleaning agents. Avoid fabric softeners and dry cleaning. Re-application of a suitable fabric protector may be considered, though not officially supported.
Straps or buckles feel loose
Adjust the straps to the desired tightness. If buckles are damaged, contact customer support for replacement parts or warranty claims.
Stretch panels feel restrictive
Ensure the garment is the correct size. The stretch panels are designed for flexibility; if they feel tight, the overall size may be too small.
