Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight.

Ensure you've selected the correct size. The vest has a snug fit due to the elastic binding. Consider a size up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to layer heavily.

Fleece is matted or losing its texture.

Wash the vest according to the care instructions. Avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners. Use a soft brush to gently restore the fleece texture after washing and drying.

Zippers are sticking.

Apply a zipper lubricant or a bar of soap to the zipper teeth to smooth operation.
