Troubleshooting

Vest appears too large or too small

Check the size guide and ensure you have selected the correct size (e.g., Size 1). If the fit is incorrect, consider purchasing a different size from the available range.

Reflective strips are peeling or damaged

Ensure the vest has been washed and dried according to the care instructions, avoiding high heat. If damage occurred during normal use, contact customer support.

Zip is difficult to operate

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zip. Gently try to move the zip back and forth. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can be applied to the teeth.
