Troubleshooting
Vest feels too tight or restrictive
Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers. The vest is designed to fit snugly but allow movement. Try adjusting the position of the vest or ensure it is not caught on your base layer.
Reduced breathability after cleaning
Ensure you did not use fabric softener or harsh detergents. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely. Avoid using heat to dry, as this can damage the fabric.
