Troubleshooting
Bib leaks water
Ensure all seams are intact. Check care label for proper washing; harsh detergents or high heat can damage the waterproof coating. Consider if the garment has reached the end of its lifespan if damage is present.
Fit is too tight or too loose
Adjust the snap buttons on the waist and leg openings. Ensure the elastic suspenders are properly secured and adjusted to your height.
Zipper is stuck
Gently try to wiggle the zipper. If it's caught on fabric, carefully try to free the material. Use a graphite pencil to rub along the zipper teeth for lubrication if needed.
