Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a tiny bit of wax to the teeth for smoother operation.
Water resistance seems reduced
The ProTek water-repellent finish may diminish over time with wear and washing. Follow the care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Consider a re-waterproofing spray suitable for athletic apparel, applied according to product directions.
Fabric feels clingy or less breathable
This can happen if the garment is not cleaned properly or if fabric softeners were used. Ensure the gilet is washed according to the care instructions with a mild detergent and without fabric softeners. Allow to air dry.
