What to Compare Before Buying
- Size: This version is XX-Large, so compare it with the wearer’s usual workwear sizing and any layering needs.

- Weather protection: The bib and brace is rated EN 343 Class 4:3 X and states WP 10,000 mm and MVP 10,000 g/m2/24hrs, which are the main wet-weather figures to compare with similar workwear.
- Storage and access: The back patch pocket, double rule pocket and adjustable side opening affect everyday use, so check whether that layout suits the task.
- Colour variant: Yellow/Navy is part of the item identity, so confirm the selected colourway before purchase if appearance or site rules matter.
When to Consider a Different Option
Choose a different option if you need a different size, a different colourway, or a garment with a different visibility or weather-protection standard. A separate style should also be considered if you need a different pocket layout or fastening arrangement.
Care, Cleaning and Storage
The garment should be washed at a maximum of 40°C using a mild process. Do not bleach, tumble dry, iron or dry clean it. Drip line drying is stated, so allow time for the fabric to dry fully before storing it away.
Before You Decide
Confirm the XX-Large size, the Yellow/Navy colourway and the stated standards before choosing an offer. If the garment is needed for a specific site or task, check that EN ISO 20471 Class 2 and EN 343 Class 4:3 X match the requirement.
