FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Transmit X Bib's fabric?
The primary benefit is its 15K waterproof and 10K breathable rating, which provides excellent protection from rain and spray while allowing sweat vapor to escape, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
Who is this bib designed for?
It is designed for adult male anglers who face challenging open-water conditions, including high speeds, wind, and rain.
Can I wear this in cold weather?
Yes, the bib is designed to be layered. You can wear insulating layers underneath for warmth in cold weather, while the bib itself provides the waterproof and windproof shell.
How should I clean the bib to maintain its performance?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
What does '15K / 10K' refer to in the product description?
The '15K' refers to the waterproof rating (15,000mm of water pressure before leaking), and the '10K' refers to the breathability rating (10,000g of water vapor per square meter over 24 hours).
Is this bib suitable for activities other than fishing?
While optimized for fishing, its waterproof and breathable properties make it suitable for other outdoor activities in wet conditions, such as boating or kayaking.
Troubleshooting
Bib feels damp inside despite no external rain.
This may be due to insufficient breathability or internal moisture buildup. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Check that you are wearing appropriate base layers that wick moisture away.
Water seems to be penetrating the fabric.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the garment thoroughly and consider reapplying a DWR treatment to restore its water-repellency. Check seams for any damage.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper track with a damp cloth and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Avoid using oil-based lubricants that can damage the fabric.
