Troubleshooting

Vest not visible enough

Ensure the vest is clean and free from dirt or obstructions that may cover the fluorescent material or reflective tape. Verify that all reflective elements are intact and not damaged. For low-light conditions, consider layering with other certified hi-vis items.

Pockets not holding items securely

Ensure items are placed correctly within the pockets. For smaller items, utilize the phone and pen holder pocket for better organization. Heavy items should be distributed across multiple pockets to avoid sagging.

Reflective tape peeling or damaged

Avoid high-heat drying and ironing directly on the tape. If damage occurs, the reflective properties are compromised, and the vest may need replacement for safety compliance.

Zipper is difficult to use

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper track. If it feels stiff, a small amount of graphite lubricant (pencil lead) can be applied to the teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
