FAQs
Are these bib pants suitable for heavy-duty work?
Yes, the double-layered fabric at the knees and durable polyester material make them suitable for various work environments, especially those involving exposure to wet conditions.
How do I ensure maximum waterproofing?
Always pair the bib pants with a compatible waterproof jacket. Ensure all zippers and closures are sealed correctly. Proper care and maintenance of the fabric's PU coating are also essential.
Can I wear these for high-exertion activities?
While the polyester offers flexibility, for very high-exertion activities where significant sweating occurs, consider breathability limitations. They are primarily designed for protection from external water.
What is the best way to clean these bib pants?
Machine wash in lukewarm water at 40°C with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, tumble drying, and ironing, as these can damage the waterproof coating and fabric.
Do the ankle zippers make the pants difficult to close?
No, the ankle zippers are designed for ease of use, allowing you to put the pants on or take them off over boots. They can be secured once adjusted to your preferred fit.
What does 'Hi-Vis' mean?
'Hi-Vis' stands for High Visibility. This indicates the garment is designed with features, such as fluorescent colors and reflective materials (like the 3M reflex), to make the wearer more visible in various light conditions.
What material are the bib pants made of?
The main fabric is 100% Polyester with a PU coating, weighing 170 g/m². The knees have a double layer of fabric for added durability.
Troubleshooting
Bib pants are leaking
Ensure all seams are intact. Check if the PU coating is damaged. If the issue persists, the garment may need replacement.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper. Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.
Reflectors are peeling or damaged
Avoid excessive heat or harsh detergents. If damage is minor, it may not affect functionality. For significant damage, consider replacement as visibility is compromised.
Fit is uncomfortable
Adjust the suspenders for a better fit. Ensure the correct size has been selected. The ankle zippers can also be adjusted for leg fit.
