What is the UPF rating of the fabric?

The fabric has a UPF rating of 40+, meaning it blocks over 98% of UV radiation.

What materials are used in the shell fabric?

The shell fabric is made from 80% Cotton, 19% Polyester, and 1% Carbon Fibre, providing a balance of comfort, durability, and flame resistance.

Troubleshooting

Garment feels too tight or loose

Adjust the elasticated shoulder straps and the hem at the bottom of the legs for a more comfortable and secure fit.

Pockets feel insufficient

Utilize the internal zipped pocket for secure storage of smaller items, and ensure tools are placed logically within the 10 available pockets.

Reduced flame resistance after washing

Ensure washing and drying instructions are strictly followed. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can compromise flame-resistant properties. Check care labels for specific guidance.
