How should I clean the gilet to maintain its softness?

Does the gilet have adjustable features?

Troubleshooting

Gilet feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check if the stretch binding is caught on anything. Ensure zippers are fully closed.

Pockets do not close securely

Ensure the zipper is fully engaged and pulled up correctly. Check for any fabric obstructions in the zipper track.
