FAQs
How do I adjust the leg length?
The bib features an extendable leg length. Refer to the garment's internal labels or hangtags for specific instructions on how to release or adjust the hem for additional length.
What is Helly Tech® Performance?
Helly Tech® Performance is Helly Hansen's technology that provides a waterproof, breathable, and wind-resistant barrier, ensuring optimal protection and comfort in outdoor conditions.
Is the insulation made from recycled materials?
Yes, the bib is insulated with recycled PrimaLoft® Black Insulation, contributing to sustainability efforts.
How should I clean the bib?
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Tumble dry on low heat. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean. Close all zippers and fasteners before washing.
What is the purpose of the reinforcement fabric?
Reinforcement fabric is added to high-wear areas such as the seat and knees to increase the bib's durability and resistance to abrasion during active use.
Can this bib be worn in mild winter temperatures?
Yes, the bib offers protection in various winter conditions. For milder temperatures, layering can be adjusted by wearing fewer layers underneath. In very cold weather, ensure appropriate base and mid-layers are worn.
What are snow gaiters?
Snow gaiters are elasticated cuffs located at the bottom of the legs designed to seal around ski boots, preventing snow from entering the boots and keeping legs dry.
Troubleshooting
Bib is not fully waterproof
Ensure all seams are sealed and check for damage to the fabric or DWR treatment. Reapply DWR treatment if necessary. Wash according to care instructions, as detergent residue can affect water repellency.
Child feels cold
Adjust layering underneath the bib. Ensure the bib is not too large, which can create gaps for cold air to enter. Check that the snow gaiters are properly secured.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush. Lubricate the zipper with a wax or silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Bib seems too short or too long
Adjust the suspender length. If the legs are too short, check if the extendable length feature has been fully utilized. If still too short, consider a larger size. If too long, use the internal rubber band underfoot to secure the hem and check if the leg cuffs can be adjusted or rolled.
