FAQs

What material is the Helly Hansen Workwear Gale Rain Bib made from?

The main fabric is 100% PU on a 100% Polyester knit, weighing 240 g/m².

Are the materials used environmentally friendly?

Yes, the bib is made with phthalate-free fabrics, which contribute to a lower environmental impact.

How do I clean the rain bib?

Machine wash in lukewarm water at 40°C with a mild detergent. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean.

What does EN 343:2019 4,1 mean?

This is a European standard for protective clothing against rain. '4' indicates the highest level of breathability, and '1' indicates a moderate level of water-resistance. For this specific standard, it refers to 'waterproofness' and 'breathability' ratings.

Can this bib be worn over other clothing?

Yes, it is designed as outerwear and intended to be worn over work clothes for protection against the elements.

What kind of closure does the inner pocket have?

The inner chest pocket features a YKK zipper for secure closure.

Are there other colors available?

While this guide focuses on the Orange variant, Helly Hansen Workwear often offers its Gale Rain Bib in other colors such as Blue and Black.

Troubleshooting

Water is leaking through the fabric.

Ensure the garment has been washed according to care instructions. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat, which can damage the waterproof coating. If leakage persists, the waterproof membrane may be compromised.

Fit is uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

Adjust the snap buttons on the waist and leg openings. Ensure the elastic suspenders are set to a comfortable length. The garment is designed to be worn over other clothing, so consider your layering when adjusting fit.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the YKK zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. A small amount of lubricant, like wax, can sometimes help if the zipper is stiff.
