FAQs

Is this bib suitable for everyday casual wear?

While the bib offers excellent protection, its design is primarily focused on workwear functionality. It may be considered too utilitarian for typical casual use, but its comfort and durability can be appreciated in outdoor casual activities.

What type of material is the bib made from?

The main fabric is 100% PU (Polyurethane) coated on a 100% Polyester knit, weighing 240 g/m².

Can I wear this over insulated pants?

Yes, the Gale Rain Bib is designed to be worn as an outer layer and can accommodate other pants underneath. The adjustable leg openings provide some flexibility in accommodating different pant thicknesses.

How do I adjust the waist size?

The waist can be adjusted using the snap button closures located on the sides of the bib.

Are the materials environmentally friendly?

Yes, the bib is made with phthalate-free fabrics, which minimizes its environmental impact compared to products using phthalates.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information can vary by retailer and region. Please refer to the point of purchase or the Helly Hansen website for specific warranty details.

How should I clean the inside of the bib?

The recommended wash care is machine wash in lukewarm water at 40°C. Avoid harsh detergents. For specific spot cleaning, a damp cloth is usually sufficient for minor external dirt, but the machine wash is best for overall hygiene.

Troubleshooting

Bib is leaking water

Ensure all seams are intact. Check for any punctures or tears in the fabric. If leaks persist, the waterproof coating may be compromised, and it may be time to consider a replacement.

Suspenders are uncomfortable or slipping

Adjust the elastic suspenders to your preferred length. Ensure the waist snaps are also secured appropriately. If the issue persists, check if the bib is the correct size for your torso length.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Ensure you are following the wash care instructions precisely. Avoid high temperatures and harsh detergents. Air drying is recommended, and the material should soften with use.

Zipper on chest pocket is difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper track with a damp cloth to remove any debris. Avoid forcing the zipper. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) can sometimes help lubricate it.
