Troubleshooting
Garment feels too warm
Ensure mesh panels are not obstructed. Consider wearing in cooler conditions or layering appropriately.
Stitching appears to be coming undone
Review care instructions to ensure washing machine settings are appropriate. Gentle washing cycles are recommended. If persistent, contact customer support.
Fabric losing its stretch or wicking ability
Avoid fabric softeners and high heat drying, as these can degrade synthetic fibers and reduce performance. Follow recommended washing and drying guidelines strictly.
Color fading
Wash inside out and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying. Use a detergent suitable for colored fabrics.
