Troubleshooting
Reflective tape appears to be losing shine
Ensure you are not using fabric softeners, which can coat the reflective beads and diminish their light-reflectivity.
Hood toggle feels loose
Ensure the toggle lock is fully engaged; if it slips, check for debris inside the toggle mechanism and clean with compressed air.

Regarding care, to maintain the safety certification and reflective performance, it is crucial to follow the manufacturer's instructions on the garment's internal tag.
