Troubleshooting
Shrinking after washing
Ensure you are washing in cold water and drying on a low heat setting or air drying. Check the fabric care label for specific instructions.
Pilling on the fabric surface
While designed to resist pilling, excessive friction can sometimes cause it. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive surfaces can help. Some minor pilling may be normal with natural fiber blends.
Hood feels too large
Utilize the drawcord to tighten the hood for a more secure and personalized fit, especially in windy conditions.
