Troubleshooting
Water resistance seems reduced.
Reapply a water-repellent treatment suitable for polyester fabrics. Ensure the garment is clean before treatment.
Faux fur lining is matted.
Gently brush the lining with a soft brush after washing and drying. Avoid excessive heat during drying.
Zipper is stiff or sticking.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a damp cloth and a small amount of mild soap. Dry thoroughly and consider a silicone-based lubricant if needed.
Gilet feels less warm than before.
Ensure the synthetic fill is not compressed. Gently fluff the wadding if necessary. Check for any tears or damage where insulation might be lost.
