What does 'generous in size' mean?

Troubleshooting
Vest not visible enough
Ensure the vest is clean and free from dirt. Check that all safety tapes are intact and not damaged. Wear the vest fastened to ensure maximum reflective surface is exposed.
Vest feels too large
The vest is designed for a generous fit to allow layering. For a more snug fit, wear it over thicker garments or consider alternative sizing if available.
Reflective tapes peeling off
This may indicate excessive heat during washing or drying, or wear and tear. Follow care instructions carefully and avoid high heat. If peeling is severe, the vest's effectiveness is compromised and it should be replaced.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This can sometimes happen with polyester. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners which can degrade reflective materials. Air drying may help maintain fabric softness.
