Troubleshooting

Vest does not feel visible enough.

Ensure the reflective tape is clean and free from dirt or damage. Check that the correct size is worn, allowing for proper placement of the reflective band across the chest. Verify that the garment has not been washed with fabric softeners, which can degrade reflectivity.

Hook and loop closure is not securing properly.

Inspect the hook and loop fasteners for lint or debris. Clean them gently with a brush or tape. Ensure the garment is not overstretched when closing.

Reflective tape is peeling off after washing.

Review washing instructions. Ensure you are using a mild process, avoiding high heat tumble drying, and not using bleach or fabric softeners. If the issue persists beyond normal wear and tear, contact the retailer.

Vest feels uncomfortable or too tight/loose.

The vest is designed for a generous fit. Try a smaller size if it feels excessively loose. Ensure you are wearing it over appropriate layers; the fit should allow movement without being restrictive.
