FAQs
What is the main purpose of the Mandal Bib?

What material is the bib made from?

What safety standards does this bib meet?

Troubleshooting
Bib feels tight or restrictive.
Adjust the elastic suspenders to a looser setting and ensure the waist snap buttons are not fastened too tightly. Consider layering with thinner clothing underneath if needed.
Water appears to be penetrating the fabric.
Inspect the bib for any tears or damage to the PVC coating. Ensure all seams are intact. Follow care instructions precisely, as improper washing can degrade the material's waterproof properties.
Zippers on the inner pocket are stiff.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals. Lubricate with a small amount of wax if necessary, but ensure it does not compromise the fabric.
