FAQs
How do I adjust the leg length on the Rider 2 Bib?
The bib features an extendable leg length system. Typically, there is an internal mechanism within the hem that allows you to adjust the length. You may need to unfold an internal cuff or release a hidden seam to add length. Check the garment's internal labels for specific instructions.
What is HELLY TECH® Performance?
HELLY TECH® Performance is Helly Hansen's proprietary technology that provides a combination of waterproofness, breathability, and wind resistance, designed for demanding outdoor activities and weather conditions.
Is the insulation made from recycled materials?
Yes, the bib uses PrimaLoft® Black recycled insulation, offering warmth while utilizing sustainable materials.
How warm is this bib suitable for?
The bib is insulated with PrimaLoft® and designed for winter conditions. It is suitable for cold weather activities, with warmth levels typically sufficient for temperatures down to around -10°C (14°F) when layered appropriately, but individual tolerance varies.
Can this bib be worn without layers underneath?
While the bib provides insulation, it is designed to be layered. For optimal warmth and comfort in cold conditions, it's recommended to wear a base layer and possibly a mid-layer underneath, depending on the temperature.
How do I care for the waterproof coating?
To maintain the waterproof coating (DWR), avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. After washing, it's beneficial to tumble dry on low heat and consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically to ensure optimal water repellency.
What size should I choose if my child is between sizes?
Given the adjustable suspenders and extendable leg length, it's often best to size up if your child is between sizes, as this will allow the garment to last longer as they grow and provide ample room for layering underneath.
Troubleshooting
Bib is not fully waterproof.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. Check the DWR coating and reapply if necessary. Verify that the main zipper is fully closed and the fabric flap is correctly positioned.
Child feels cold despite wearing the bib.
Check the layering system. Ensure a warm base layer and mid-layer are worn underneath. Verify that all adjustable points (suspenders, waist) are set for a snug but comfortable fit, and that snow gaiters are properly secured.
Leg length adjustment is not working.
Locate the internal adjustment mechanism (often a button or strap system) within the leg hem. Consult the product tag or manual for specific instructions on how to extend or shorten the leg length.
Fabric feels stiff or loses flexibility.
This can sometimes occur after washing. Ensure fabric softener was not used. Gentle tumble drying on low heat can help restore some flexibility. Consider a specific technical garment wash if stiffness persists.
