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.

Water seems to be seeping through.

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.

Ensure the snow gaiters are properly positioned over the boots and secured.

Child feels cold while wearing the bib.

The bib is designed for moderate cold. For extremely low temperatures, consider adding an extra insulating layer underneath, such as thermal leggings.
