FAQs
Are these overalls machine washable?
Yes, you can machine wash them on a gentle cycle, but avoid using bleach or heavy detergents that could compromise the waterproof coating.
Can I wear these in freezing temperatures?
The Mandal Bibs provide excellent protection against wind and water, but they are not insulated. You should layer them with thermal leggings or base layers for cold weather.
What is the primary material used?
These overalls are constructed from durable, waterproof polyester.
Are they suitable for women?
Yes, they are designed as a unisex garment, though sizing should be checked against the size guide to ensure a proper fit.
How do I store the bibs?
Store them hanging in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew buildup and to ensure the material stays in its original shape.
Do the legs fit over work boots?
Yes, the legs are intentionally designed with a straight-cut, wide opening to easily accommodate large work boots.
Troubleshooting
Water appears to be leaking through the fabric
Check for physical punctures or deep scratches in the polyester; minor holes can often be patched with specialized waterproof adhesive tape.
Straps slipping during movement
Ensure the elastic suspender buckles are fully clicked into place and tightened to match your torso length.
Stiffness in the material
Exposure to cold temperatures can stiffen the polyester; allow the garment to sit in a room-temperature environment for 15 minutes before putting it on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mandal Bib Overalls, follow these guidelines. Setup is straightforward: simply adjust the elastic suspenders to your preferred height and use the push-button hem adjustments to cinch the cuffs around your boots once in place. Compatibility is high with standard workwear, but ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking base layers to compensate for the garment's waterproof (non-breathable) nature. For care, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after use to remove dirt or oil. If the garment becomes heavily soiled, machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoiding harsh solvents or bleach. Hang to dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
