Product Information

Full details

The Mascot Accelerate Safe Bib & Brace is designed for male workers needing enhanced visibility and durable protection. Its key benefit lies in its combination of stretch fabric for comfort and mobility, reinforced pockets for tools, and Hi-Vis certification for safety. A caveat to consider is that while water-repellent, it is not fully waterproof, and proper kneepad selection is crucial for EN certification.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this bib & brace suitable for all-day wear?

Yes, the ULTIMATE STRETCH fabric and ergonomic design are intended for high comfort and mobility during extended wear.

What is the recommended way to wash this garment?

The garment can be machine washed at 40°C on a normal cycle. Avoid bleaching and tumble drying. Iron on a hot setting.

Can I use any kneepads with this bib & brace?

For EN 14404 certification, you must use specific MASCOT kneepad models like Waterloo, Grant, Likasi, 20118-915, or the LONG type. The pockets are designed for these.

How do I extend the leg length?

Each standard leg length can be extended by 3 cm by releasing the internal red stitches found at the hem.

Is the 'Hi-Vis Orange' color compliant with safety standards?

Yes, the product is certified to EN ISO 20471, Class 2, ensuring high visibility in work environments. The Hi-Vis Orange color is part of this certification.

What does 'water-repellent' mean for this product?

It means the fabric is treated to resist water penetration from light splashes or brief rain. It is not waterproof and will not protect against heavy or prolonged wet conditions.

Are the holster pockets removable?

While the product description mentions detachable holster pockets in relation to a different model (17049-311-33-C48), this specific bib & brace (Accelerate Safe) features integrated, well-designed holster pockets that are not described as detachable in the provided information.

Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely. Avoid harsh detergents or excessive heat during drying or ironing, which can damage fluorescent and reflective materials. Clean reflectors regularly.

Kneepad pockets not fitting correctly

Verify that you are using compatible MASCOT kneepads recommended for this model. Adjust the height of the kneepad pocket within the garment to ensure a snug and protective fit.

Seams appearing to wear quickly

Inspect the areas of wear. While double-stitched seams offer durability, excessive friction or strain in specific areas might require attention. Ensure the garment fits correctly and is not undersized.

Water-repellency decreasing

Reapply a suitable fabric waterproofing treatment designed for workwear after washing, following the product's instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce water-repellent properties.
