FAQs

What makes the Transmit X Bib & Jacket suitable for fishing?

It features 15K/10K waterproof/breathable nylon, angler-specific pockets, and durable construction designed for harsh marine environments.

How do I clean my Transmit X Bib & Jacket?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild soap. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, and stain removers. Tumble dry on low or hang dry.

Is this gear suitable for extreme cold weather?

While it provides excellent protection from wind and water, it is not insulated. For extreme cold, layer appropriate thermal base and mid-layers underneath.

What is the significance of the PFAS treatment?

PFAS chemicals are used to enhance the durability and water resistance of the nylon material, contributing to the garment's longevity in demanding conditions.

Can this bib be worn without the jacket?

Yes, the bib portion functions as standalone waterproof overalls, offering significant protection on its own. The jacket can be worn separately as well.

What sizes are available?

This specific listing is for size Large in Black. Other sizes and colors, such as Blue in XXL, are available as separate product variants.

How do the knee-high zippers help?

The knee-high zippers allow for quick and easy on-and-off, especially when wearing boots, making it convenient to change in and out of the gear.

Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the fabric.

Check that all zippers are fully closed and secured. The fabric's DWR finish may need to be reapplied. Wash the garment according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners.

The garment feels clammy inside.

This can occur if breathability is overwhelmed. Ensure you are not overheating; consider removing a layer underneath. Wash the garment to ensure the membrane is clear of contaminants.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the YKK zippers with fresh water and gently lubricate them with a silicone-based zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reduced effectiveness of waterproof coating.

The DWR treatment may have worn off. Clean the garment and reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical apparel. Follow the DWR product's instructions carefully.
