Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or sticking.
Gently pull the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the teeth of the zipper.
Pilling or shedding of material.
This can occur with polyester over time. Ensure washing at the correct temperature (30 degrees) and avoid harsh detergents. Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. Consider using a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
Gilet loses its puffiness.
Puffiness can decrease with washing. Ensure the gilet is thoroughly dried, ideally on a low heat tumble dry with a few clean tennis balls to help redistribute the filling. Avoid over-washing.
