Troubleshooting
Water begins to seep through during heavy rain
The durable water repellent (DWR) coating may be worn; re-apply a technical waterproofing spray meant for outdoor apparel.
Straps slipping during movement
Ensure the ski-lock mechanism is clicked firmly into place; verify that the webbing is not twisted in the buckle.
Stiff or sticky zips
Clean away any grit or dried mud from the zipper teeth and apply a light silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance from your bib and brace, adjust the shoulder straps to ensure the bib sits high on the chest. The side zips should be checked occasionally to ensure they are fully closed to maintain the waterproof seal. Regarding care, clean the exterior using a damp cloth or soft brush to remove mud and dirt. For deeper cleaning, follow the care label instructions, typically involving a gentle machine wash in cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof treatment. Always air dry the garment completely before storage in a cool, ventilated area.
