FAQs
Are these bibs suitable for very cold weather?
The Mandal Bibs provide excellent protection against water and wind, but they are not insulated. For very cold weather, layering warm clothing underneath is recommended.
How do I clean oil or grease stains?
While the material is oil-resistant, persistent stains can often be spot-cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Always follow the main washing instructions.
What does EN 343 3,1 certification mean?
EN 343 is a European standard for protective clothing against rain. '3' indicates the highest class for water-penetrability (meaning excellent waterproofness), and '1' indicates the second-highest class for water-vapor resistance (meaning moderate breathability).
Can I wear these for casual outdoor activities?
Yes, if you require robust waterproof protection for activities like gardening or working in the yard, they are suitable. However, their design is primarily focused on workwear functionality.
What is the primary material of the Mandal Bib?
The main fabric is 100% Polyester with a PVC coating, weighing 410 g/m².
How should I store the bib trousers when not in use?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the bibs are clean and completely dry before storage to prevent mildew.
Troubleshooting
Water seepage through seams
Ensure seams are intact. If damage is present, consider repair or replacement. Micro-welded seams are designed for high integrity but can be compromised by sharp objects.
Straps feel too loose or tight
Adjust the length of the elastic suspenders using the buckles. Ensure they are securely fastened.
Leg hem doesn't fit over boots properly
Utilize the push-button adjustments at the hem to widen or narrow the leg opening for a better fit over your specific boots.
Material feels stiff after washing
Ensure you followed the wash care instructions precisely (lukewarm water, no bleach, no dryer). Air drying is recommended. Avoid ironing, as heat can damage the coating.
