Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through after heavy use
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating; wash gently and air dry, or consider using a re-proofer spray specifically designed for outdoor gear.
Shoulder straps sliding down during movement
Ensure the ski-lock mechanism is fully engaged and properly tensioned to your torso length.
Difficulty moving in the garment
Adjust the waist fit or ensure your inner layers are not too bulky, as this may restrict the garment's designed ergonomic flexibility.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior waterproof and breathable performance with EN343 rating
- Reinforced high-wear zones protect against heavy usage
- Adjustable components ensure a comfortable, secure fit for various body types
- Practical pocket layout designed for outdoor utility
Cons
- Material may feel slightly stiff initially due to its heavy-duty nature

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: adjust the ski-lock shoulder straps until the bib sits comfortably across your torso, ensuring the waist remains at a height that allows for full range of motion. Secure the hook-and-loop cuffs over your boots to create a seal against mud and water.
To ensure the longevity of the garment:
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle using mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners as they can strip the waterproof finish.
- Drying: Air dry naturally. Never tumble dry or place directly on a radiator, as excessive heat can damage the waterproof membrane.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use for extended periods.
