FAQ – Self-Extinguishing High-Visibility Rain Bibs
1. What does “self-extinguishing” mean for these rain bibs?
These rain bibs meet the ASTM D6413 standard for self-extinguishing materials, meaning they’re designed to stop burning once the ignition source is removed. They achieve less than 2 seconds of flameout and under 6 inches of char length, helping to reduce risk in environments with limited exposure to sparks or heat. However, they are not intended for arc flash or flash fire protection, and should not replace FR-rated garments in those conditions.
2. Are these rain bibs waterproof?
Yes. The bibs are fully waterproof and windproof, made from 0.18 mm polyurethane-coated 150D oxford polyester with fully taped seams to seal out water completely. Whether you’re working in heavy rain or wet industrial conditions, these bibs ensure consistent dryness and comfort while maintaining breathability.
3. What kind of visibility do these rain bibs provide?
Designed for maximum safety, these bibs are ANSI Class E compliant and feature a high-visibility yellow/green base color combined with 3M™ reflective material. This ensures superior daytime and nighttime visibility, making them ideal for construction workers, traffic control personnel, and emergency responders who operate in low-light environments.
4. Are these bibs suitable for electrical or utility work?
Yes. The bibs feature non-conductive hardware, reducing the risk of electrical conduction and enhancing worker safety around live equipment or energized environments. This makes them well-suited for utility, maintenance, and roadwork applications where both visibility and electrical safety are essential.
5. How comfortable are these bibs for long work hours?
Engineered for functionality and comfort, these bibs include adjustable shoulder straps for a secure, personalized fit and hook-and-loop adjustable ankle cuffs for easy on/off over boots. The snap fly closure allows convenient access without compromising protection, while the lightweight PU-coated fabric helps reduce fatigue during extended shifts.
6. Can I use these bibs with other high-visibility PPE?
Absolutely. These rain bibs are ANSI Class E compliant, meaning they can be paired with an ANSI Class 2 or Class 3 jacket to create a fully compliant Class 3 ensemble. This makes them an excellent addition to a complete visibility safety system, ensuring top-tier compliance on the job site.
7. How should I care for and maintain the self-extinguishing properties?
To preserve both the waterproofing and self-extinguishing properties, wash the bibs using cold water and mild detergent on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat drying. Over time, with repeated washing, the self-extinguishing performance will diminish, so it’s recommended to regularly inspect and replace the garment as needed to maintain compliance and protection.
8. What additional functional features are included?
The bibs feature a snap fly closure for convenience, adjustable shoulder straps for a secure fit, and an outer pocket for storing small tools or personal items. Combined with the durable double-layer PU coating and nonconductive components, these design elements provide the perfect balance of safety, utility, and comfort for demanding work environments.
