FAQs
Can I wash these in a standard washing machine?
Yes, you can wash them in a machine, but use a gentle cycle with warm water and a specialized technical wash detergent.
How does the extendable leg feature work?
The garment includes internal seams that can be carefully released to add extra length to the legs as your child grows.
Are these bibs suitable for extremely cold weather?
Yes, the PrimaLoft insulation provides high-performance warmth. For extremely cold days, pair them with a quality thermal base layer.
Are the suspenders adjustable?
Yes, the bibs feature adjustable suspenders to help achieve the perfect fit for your child's height.
Is the fabric breathable?
Yes, the HELLY TECH Performance technology is engineered to allow moisture vapor to escape while keeping water from entering.
What is the best way to dry them?
Air drying is generally recommended, but you can tumble dry on a low-heat setting to help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
Troubleshooting
Snow getting inside the boot
Ensure the elasticated snow gaiter is pulled securely over the boot and that the outer shell leg is properly positioned outside the boot gaiter.
Bib feels damp inside after heavy activity
This is often due to internal moisture buildup from sweat; ensure the child is wearing moisture-wicking base layers rather than cotton.
Water soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating may be worn off; tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the coating, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Rider 2 Insulated Bib, start by adjusting the suspenders to achieve a snug but comfortable fit that does not restrict movement. The bibs are designed to be worn over thermal base layers for optimal moisture management. When cleaning, always follow the care label: machine wash on a warm cycle using a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can clog the pores of the waterproof membrane and reduce breathability. To restore the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish after repeated washings, consider using a spray-on or wash-in re-waterproofing treatment.
