Troubleshooting

Vest feels too bulky under another jacket

Consider using a thinner base layer or a more streamlined outer shell. The vest is designed for warmth and may add noticeable volume.

Zipper is difficult to close or open

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper. If debris is present, clean the zipper with a small brush.
