FAQs

What specific hazards does this bib & brace protect against?

It protects against radiant, convective, and contact heat, as well as electric arc flashes (up to 16 CAL/CM²) and static discharge. It also offers protection against certain chemical splashes (Type PB [6]).

Can I wash this at home?

While standard washing at 60°C is possible, the garment is designed and certified for industrial laundry at 75°C and tunnel drying at 155°C to maintain its optimal protective properties. Industrial laundry is highly recommended.

How many washes can this garment withstand?

The garment is certified for a maximum of 50 washes under recommended industrial laundry conditions.

Are the knee pad pockets included?

No, the knee pad pockets are designed to hold compatible knee pads, which are sold separately.

What does CE-CAT III mean?

CE-CAT III indicates the highest category of protection for complex risks, such as significant thermal and electrical hazards, requiring rigorous testing and certification.

Is this garment suitable for women?

This bib & brace is designed primarily for men, with sizing based on men's waist measurements. While it could be worn by women, fit may vary.

What is the UPF rating?

The fabric has a UPF rating of 40+, meaning it blocks over 98% of harmful UV radiation.

Troubleshooting

Bib & Brace feels stiff after washing.

This can occur if not washed according to industrial laundry standards. Ensure industrial washing and drying processes are used as recommended. For home washing, avoid harsh detergents and over-drying.

Knee pads do not stay in place.

Ensure you are using the correct size knee pads designed for the two-tier pocket system. Adjust the bib & brace straps and hem for a snug fit.

Color appears faded.

While the fabric has good color fastness, excessive exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals can cause fading. Follow recommended washing procedures and store away from direct light.

Flame-resistant tape is peeling.

Ensure the garment is not subjected to excessive heat during ironing or drying beyond the specified temperatures. Avoid abrasive cleaning methods.
