Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear. Try gently wiggling the zipper pull. If stiffness persists, a small amount of graphite from a pencil can be applied to the zipper teeth as a lubricant.
Reflective strips are peeling or damaged.
Avoid high heat drying and excessive ironing directly on the reflective strips. If minor peeling occurs, do not force it. Professional cleaning methods may help preserve them longer.
Color fading after washing.
Ensure you are washing according to the instructions (40°C, normal wash) and washing inside out. Avoid direct sunlight when drying.
Shrinkage after washing.
Follow the recommended washing temperature (40°C) and avoid tumble drying. Air drying is the safest method to prevent shrinkage.
