Troubleshooting
Bib feels too loose or too tight
Adjust the elastic suspenders to achieve a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure they are evenly tensioned on both sides.
Water seems to be penetrating the fabric
Check the care instructions and ensure the garment has been washed correctly. Re-waterproofing treatments may be considered if performance has degraded over time, following manufacturer guidelines.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant sparingly if needed.
Reflective elements appear damaged
Avoid high heat during washing and drying, and refrain from ironing directly on the reflective strips. Gentle care is essential for their longevity.
