Troubleshooting

Fleece material feels matted or less soft after washing.

Ensure you are using cold water and avoiding harsh detergents. Tumble dry on low heat and remove immediately. Avoid ironing, as heat can damage the fibers.

Zipper on the chest pocket is sticking.

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a wax-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and try again.

Elastic trims feel stretched out.

This can occur with prolonged wear or improper washing. Ensure washing and drying instructions are followed closely. If significantly stretched, it may indicate normal wear and tear.
