Troubleshooting
Drawstring comes undone
Ensure the knot is tied securely. If the drawstring is fraying, consider a small stitch to reinforce the end.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can reduce the effectiveness of quick-dry materials. Ensure the garment is fully rinsed. Tumble dry on low heat can sometimes help soften it.
Pockets do not hold items securely
The hand pockets are designed for casual carry. The Velcro back pocket offers more security, but always ensure items are placed properly and the Velcro is firmly closed. For activities requiring high security, consider a waterproof pouch.
