Troubleshooting

Reduced visibility after washing

Ensure washing instructions are strictly followed. Over-washing with harsh detergents or at high temperatures can degrade the reflective properties over time. Refer to the care label for specific washing cycles and temperatures.

Shirt feels too tight

This garment features a slim fit. If the fit is too restrictive, consider trying a size up or a different model with a regular fit if available. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the size chart.

Fabric not wicking moisture effectively

Ensure the garment is not clogged with detergent residue or fabric softener, which can impair moisture-wicking properties. Wash with a minimal amount of mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners. Ensure the garment is not layered with non-breathable materials that trap moisture.
