Troubleshooting
Jacket feels tight
The Surrey Chef Jacket features a slim, ergonomic fit. Consider ordering a size up if a looser fit is preferred. Refer to the sizing guide for accurate measurements.
Stains not repelling effectively
Ensure the Texpel finish has not been compromised by harsh detergents or fabric softeners. Follow the recommended care instructions carefully, especially regarding washing temperatures and product usage.
Reduced breathability
Check that the MeshAir Pro panels are not obstructed by other garments or accessories. Ensure the jacket is clean, as heavy soiling can impact airflow.
