FAQs
What does the EN343 3:3 rating mean?
It is a European standard for protective clothing; the first number indicates high-level waterproofness, and the second indicates the highest level of breathability.
Can I machine wash this bib?
Yes, but follow the specific care label attached to the product. Use a gentle cycle and specialized cleaner for technical waterproof clothing.
Are the knees padded?
They are reinforced with durable nylon oxford material for extra abrasion resistance but do not contain integrated foam padding.
Does this offer protection against cold?
It is designed as a waterproof shell. For cold conditions, we recommend wearing thermal layers underneath.
How do I determine my size?
Refer to the waist size provided in the product title (e.g., 30") and adjust the shoulder straps for the best length fit.
Troubleshooting
Water penetrating the garment
Ensure all zips and the hook and loop cuffs are fully secured. If water leakage continues, the waterproof coating may require re-application.
Difficulty adjusting shoulder straps
Check the ski-lock mechanism for grit or debris; rinse with water and air dry to restore smooth movement.
Excessive interior moisture
While the bib is breathable, extremely strenuous activity may exceed its capacity. Layer with moisture-wicking base layers instead of heavy cotton.
Pros and Cons

- Reinforced knees for improved longevity in rugged terrain
- Adjustable straps and cuffs for a customizable fit

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your bib and brace, adjust the ski-lock shoulder straps to your preferred torso height before beginning your tasks. When layering, ensure your under-garments are thin enough to fit comfortably beneath the polyester outer shell without restricting movement.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove mud and surface debris.
- Wash according to the garment label to maintain the integrity of the waterproof membrane.
- Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip away waterproof treatments.
- Allow the garment to air dry naturally, keeping it away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the fabric.
