What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a 40+ UPF rating, meaning it blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays, providing significant protection from sun exposure.

Can this be worn as a standalone garment?

Troubleshooting

Reduced water repellency

Wash the garment according to care instructions and consider applying a suitable water-repellent spray after washing and drying, following the product's instructions.

Zippers difficult to operate

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Gently pull the zipper and consider using a silicone-based lubricant on the teeth.

Fit is uncomfortable or too tight/loose

Adjust the bib straps, side elastic waist, and chest adjustment buttons to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on your measurements.

Reflective tape appears damaged

Avoid harsh chemicals and excessive heat during washing and drying. If damaged, the reflective properties will be compromised in those areas.

Care Instructions: To maintain the garment's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 40°C (104°F) with a mild detergent. Do not bleach or use fabric softeners.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or line dry in shade. Avoid direct sunlight for extended periods.
  4. Ironing: Iron at a low temperature setting (maximum 110°C / 230°F), preferably without steam.
  5. Dry Cleaning: Do not dry clean.
  6. Maintenance: Ensure all zips are closed before washing. Re-apply a water-repellent finish periodically if performance diminishes.
