Troubleshooting
Bib feels tight or restrictive.
Adjust the elasticated sides and suspenders for a more comfortable fit. Utilize the extendable leg length feature if the pants are too short.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed. Reapply a DWR treatment to the outer fabric. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.
Snow gets inside the leg cuffs.
