FAQs
What does 'Gore-Tex' mean for this bib?
Gore-Tex is a specialized membrane that makes the bib waterproof and windproof while allowing perspiration vapor to escape, keeping you dry from both the outside and inside.
Is this bib suitable for sailing in light weather?
While it offers protection, this bib is specifically designed for rigorous offshore conditions. For lighter sailing, a less specialized waterproof jacket and trousers might be more practical.
How should I clean the bib to maintain its waterproofness?
Machine wash cold with a mild detergent, rinse well, and tumble dry on low heat. Periodically reapply a DWR treatment to maintain water repellency.
Can I wear this bib for activities other than offshore work?
This bib is engineered for the specific demands of offshore environments. It may be overly warm or restrictive for other activities.
What is the main benefit of the bib design?
The bib design provides extended coverage over the chest and back, offering superior protection against water ingress compared to standard trousers.
What material is the bib made from?
The bib is constructed from durable materials incorporating Gore-Tex technology for waterproof and breathable performance.
Troubleshooting
Water seeping through fabric
Ensure DWR treatment is active. If fabric is saturated, reapply DWR. Check for any damage to the Gore-Tex membrane.
Reduced breathability
Clean the garment thoroughly with a mild detergent to remove salt and grime. Ensure washing and drying instructions are followed.
Stiffness after washing
Tumble dry on low heat according to care instructions to restore fabric softness and water-repellent properties.
