Troubleshooting
Bib is not fully waterproof after washing
Ensure you are following the specific care instructions. Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or iron the garment, as these can damage the waterproof coating. Check that seams are properly sealed.
Straps feel loose or tight
Adjust the elastic suspenders to your preferred length. If the waist feels too loose or tight, utilize the snap button closure on the adjustable waist.
Stitching or seams are separating
Inspect the garment for any damage. If seams are failing, contact customer support. Avoid excessive stress on the seams during wear or washing.
Pocket zipper is stiff
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Sometimes debris can get caught. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) applied to the zipper teeth can help.
