FAQs
What is the primary material of the Mandal Bib?
The main fabric is 100% Polyester with a PVC coating, weighing 410 g/m².
Are these bibs suitable for very cold weather?
While they offer waterproof protection, they are not insulated. For cold weather, layering with warm base and mid-layers is recommended.
How do I clean the bibs?
Machine wash in lukewarm water (40°C). Avoid bleach, tumble drying, ironing, and dry cleaning.
Can I wear these for casual outdoor activities?
Yes, they provide excellent waterproof protection for casual use in wet conditions, though their design is optimized for workwear.
What does EN 343 3,1 standard mean?
This standard indicates protection against rain, with '3' being the highest rating for water penetration resistance and '1' being a good rating for breathability within its class.
Does the bib have any pockets?
Yes, it features an inner chest pocket with a zipper for secure storage.
How do I adjust the fit?
The bibs have adjustable elastic suspenders and an adjustable waist with snap buttons for a customized fit.
Troubleshooting
Bibs leaking water
Ensure all seams are intact. Check for any punctures or tears in the fabric. If damage is found, repair with appropriate waterproof sealant or consider replacement.
Straps not staying adjusted
Ensure the suspender adjustment buckles are properly locked. If they continue to slip, check for wear on the buckles or straps and consider if they need replacement.
Discomfort due to lack of breathability
Wear moisture-wicking base layers underneath. For high-exertion tasks, consider taking breaks to allow for ventilation.
Material feels stiff
This can be normal for PVC-coated materials, especially in colder temperatures. Allow the garment to warm up to body temperature during wear.
