Troubleshooting
Water seeping through seams
Ensure the garment is properly cared for according to instructions. Seams are designed to be waterproof, but extreme wear or improper washing could affect them. Consider seam sealing if the issue persists and is localized.
Reduced visibility over time
High-visibility materials can degrade with extensive washing or exposure to harsh chemicals. Adhere strictly to the recommended washing temperature and avoid harsh detergents. If visibility is significantly compromised, consider replacement for safety.
Elastic waistband feels loose
Check if the garment is the correct size. While the elastic provides comfort, it is not designed for drastic size changes. Ensure the pants are not overly stretched during use.
