Troubleshooting

Reflective tape appears damaged or is peeling.

Ensure washing and ironing instructions were followed precisely. If damage occurred during normal use or washing, contact the retailer for potential replacement if within warranty.

Vest feels tight or restrictive.

This vest features a generous fit. If it feels too tight, consider if you are wearing overly bulky clothing underneath. If the size is incorrect, exchange for a larger size.

Hook and loop closure is not securing properly.

Ensure the hook and loop surfaces are clean and free from debris. Gently clean the surfaces with a soft brush or damp cloth. If the closure is significantly worn, it may require replacement by a qualified tailor or replacement of the vest.

Color fading after washing.

Follow the recommended washing temperature (max 40°C) and use mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents. Line drying in the shade can also help preserve color.
