The Gale Rain Bib & Brace provides excellent protection against wind and rain. For cold weather, it is designed to be layered over thermal base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.
How do I adjust the fit of the bib?
The fit can be adjusted using the elastic suspenders, the snap buttons at the waist, and the snap buttons at the bottom of the legs to customize the tightness and length.
Can I wear these for casual activities?
While very functional, the design is optimized for workwear. The durable materials and construction make them suitable for outdoor activities where robust protection is needed.
What does the EN 343:2019 4,1 certification mean?
This certification indicates high performance in water-resistance (Class 4) and breathability (Class 1) for protective clothing against adverse weather.
How should I clean the bib?
Machine wash in lukewarm water at 40°C. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Ensure thorough rinsing.
Is the fabric breathable?
The fabric is certified EN 343:2019 Class 1 for breathability, meaning it offers a basic level of breathability suitable for many work applications.

Troubleshooting
Water ingress despite being waterproof
Ensure all snap buttons and zippers are fully closed. Check seams for any damage. Re-evaluate care instructions, as improper washing can affect water repellency.
Fit is too loose or too tight
Adjust the elastic suspenders, the waist snap buttons, and the leg opening snap buttons to achieve a secure and comfortable fit.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes occur if detergent residue remains. Ensure thorough rinsing during the wash cycle. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade waterproof properties. Hang dry properly.
