Troubleshooting

Water is seeping through the seams.

Check the seams for any damage. While the seams are welded, extreme wear or abrasion can compromise them. If damage is found, contact Spotty Otter for repair options.

The dungarees are not repelling water effectively.

Ensure the dungarees are clean. Dirt and grime can reduce the effectiveness of the waterproof coating. Wash according to care instructions. Consider using a suitable reproofing treatment if needed.

The adjustable braces slip down.

Tighten the braces. Make sure the buckles are securely fastened and adjusted to the correct length.

The dungarees are too large or too small.

Adjust the braces and elasticated waist for a better fit. If the fit is consistently poor, consider the next size up or down.
