FAQs

Are the suspenders adjustable?

What is the purpose of the D-ring?
The D-ring is a dedicated attachment point for a kill cord, a vital safety feature for power-driven sailing vessels.
How do I maintain the waterproof performance?

Can I dry this garment in a machine dryer?

Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; apply a technical DWR spray and tumble dry on low to reactivate the treatment.
Moisture buildup inside the bib
While breathable, high humidity or extreme exertion can exceed the membrane's capacity; ensure you are using appropriate moisture-wicking base layers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To care for your gear, rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater. For cleaning, machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent. Periodically inspect the D-ring and seams for signs of wear. Always ensure the garment is fully dry before storing it in a cool, well-ventilated area to prevent mold or moisture buildup.
