Does it have any specific pockets for tools?

Troubleshooting

Straps are uncomfortable or too loose/tight

Adjust the buckle and strap length to find a secure and comfortable fit. Ensure the bib is positioned correctly on your torso.

Knee pads are not staying in place

Ensure you are using knee pads designed to fit securely within the pocket. Check that the pocket is not overloaded with other items.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

This can sometimes occur with polycotton blends. A low-heat tumble dry or a fabric softener during washing may help. Avoid over-drying.

Zipped pocket is difficult to open/close

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper back and forth. A small amount of wax or graphite can help lubricate the teeth if needed.
