FAQs
What is Helly Tech® Performance?
Helly Tech® Performance is a technology used by Helly Hansen that creates a waterproof, windproof, and breathable outer layer. It is designed for demanding outdoor activities.
How do I extend the leg length?
The bib features an extendable leg length, usually achieved by unfolding an internal hem. Check the garment's care label or consult Helly Hansen's official resources for specific instructions on how to adjust it.
Is this bib suitable for very cold temperatures?
Yes, the recycled PrimaLoft® insulation provides warmth suitable for low temperatures, making it ideal for winter conditions. Layering with appropriate base and mid-layers will further enhance warmth.
Can this bib be worn by both boys and girls?
Yes, the bib is designed as unisex and can be worn by children regardless of gender.
How should I clean the bib to maintain its waterproofness?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, avoiding fabric softener. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Reapply a DWR treatment periodically to maintain water repellency.
What does DWR treatment mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a coating applied to the fabric's exterior that causes water to bead up and roll off, helping to keep the garment dry and breathable.
Are the seams sealed?
Yes, the Rider 2 Bib features fully sealed seams, which is crucial for ensuring waterproof protection.
Troubleshooting
Bib feels too short or too long.
Adjust the suspenders to find the most comfortable length. If the bib is too short, check if the extendable leg length feature has been utilized and can be adjusted further.
Water seems to be seeping through.
Ensure all seams are fully sealed. If water repellency has decreased, consider reapplying a DWR treatment to the outer fabric.
Snow gets inside the legs.
Verify that the snow gaiters at the bottom of the legs are properly positioned over the boots and are secured.
Child feels too warm or too cold.
Layering is key. Adjust base and mid-layers underneath the bib based on the external temperature and the child's activity level. Ensure the bib itself is not too tight, which can restrict circulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Rider 2 Bib requires minimal setup. Ensure the adjustable suspenders are set to a comfortable length for your child, and the elasticated sides are snug but not restrictive. The leg length can be extended by unfolding the internal hem if needed.
Compatibility: This bib is designed for winter sports and general outdoor cold-weather activities. It is compatible with thermal base layers and mid-layers for added warmth.
Care: To maintain the performance of the Helly Tech® fabric, it is recommended to machine wash the bib separately in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can impede breathability and water repellency. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment periodically as needed to restore water-repelling properties.
