How do the stirrups work?

Troubleshooting

Bib feels too tight or restrictive.

Check the sizing guide and ensure you have the correct size. Consider a size up if layering heavily or if you prefer a looser fit.

Stirrups are uncomfortable.

Adjust the stirrups and ensure they are not too tight, and make sure they are properly positioned inside your waders.

Odor persists after washing.

Use a specialized odor-eliminating detergent and avoid washing with other items that may retain odors.
