Troubleshooting
Zipper snagging or sticking
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a bit of wax to the teeth to help it slide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket appears to have lost its shape after washing
Ensure you followed the washing and drying instructions carefully. Air dry the jacket flat or on a hanger. If the fit is still off, gentle stretching while damp may help, but consult care label for best practices.
Color fading on the green nylon material
Wash the jacket in cold water with a mild detergent. Turning the jacket inside out before washing can also help protect the outer color. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.
