FAQs

Is this garment machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed, but it is best to use a gentle cycle with a specialized technical wash to preserve the waterproof coating.

What does the EN343 3:3 rating mean?

It is the highest European standard for protective clothing against rain, indicating top-tier levels of both water resistance and breathability.

Can I wear these over heavy winter gear?

The adjustable straps allow for some flexibility, but the bib is primarily designed for standard work layers.

Are the knees padded?

They are reinforced for durability, but they do not contain dedicated foam inserts.

Does the material stretch?

The polyester fabric is robust and durable rather than elastic, so it holds its shape well under heavy use.

Troubleshooting

Water appears to be soaking into the outer layer

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may have worn off; apply a specialized DWR re-proofing spray to restore the water-beading effect.

Shoulder straps sliding or coming loose

Check the ski-lock mechanism for debris. Clean the locking teeth and ensure the strap is fully engaged in the locked position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-performance EN343 3:3 waterproof rating
  • Breathable design prevents overheating during active tasks
  • Reinforced knees offer excellent durability for heavy use
  • Flexible sizing via adjustable shoulder straps
  • Effective mesh lining for improved internal comfort

Cons

  • Polyester material may feel less breathable than natural fabrics in extreme heat
  • Requires manual cleaning to maintain waterproof coating
  • Limited stretch compared to specialized technical gear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, adjust the ski-lock shoulder straps while standing to ensure the bib sits comfortably across your torso without pulling on your shoulders. When layering, the garment is designed to fit over standard trousers; use the side access zips to manage your layers during the day.

For care, it is recommended to wash the garment in cool water using a non-detergent soap if possible, to protect the waterproof membrane. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the waterproof material and reduce breathability. Always hang the garment to air dry in a well-ventilated space; avoid tumble drying, as high heat can damage the waterproof sealing strips.
