Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking
Gently pull the zipper while ensuring the fabric is not caught. If necessary, apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead to the teeth.
Vest feels bulky when layered
Ensure you are layering with thin base layers. The vest is designed for midweight insulation, so very thick layers underneath may cause bulk.
Fleece appears matted after washing
Avoid harsh detergents and high heat. Ensure you are following the 'tumble dry low' instruction. Gently brush the fleece to restore its loft.
