Troubleshooting

Straps do not stay adjusted

Ensure the buckles are fully engaged and the straps are threaded correctly through the adjustment points. Check for any debris obstructing the buckle mechanism.

Knee pads slip out of pockets

Ensure you are using the correct size knee pads for the pockets. Make sure the knee pads are fully inserted and the bottom loading flap is secured.

Fabric feels stiff after washing

Refer to the care instructions. Ensure you are washing with a mild detergent and not using harsh chemicals or excessive heat during drying. A light tumble dry on low can often soften the fabric.

Zipper is difficult to move
