Troubleshooting
Waistband feels too loose or too tight.
Adjust the internal drawstring to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure the drawstring is tied appropriately.
Sweat is not wicking effectively.
Ensure the garment is not overloaded with detergent during washing, as residue can impede wicking properties. Wash with like colors and avoid fabric softeners.
Graphic pattern appears faded after washing.
Follow the care instructions carefully, specifically avoiding high heat drying and direct ironing on the graphic. Wash inside out to protect the print.
