Troubleshooting
Gilet not zipping into outer shell
Ensure both the gilet and the outer shell have the 'InterActive' zip system and that they are correctly aligned before attempting to zip them together. Check for any obstructions on the zips.
Fleece feels stiff or lost softness
Avoid using fabric softener during washing, as it can degrade fleece fibers. Consider using a specific fleece wash or a small amount of liquid detergent on a gentle cycle.
Drawcord not tightening effectively
Check the drawcord channel for debris. Ensure the cord lock is functioning correctly. If the cord is frayed, it may need replacing.
