Difficulty zipping the front closure.

Ensure the back protector is properly aligned and not twisted. If the zipper still sticks, try applying a small amount of lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Check the size guide and ensure you have the correct size. The protector should fit snugly but not restrict movement. Consider trying a larger size.
