Troubleshooting

Fabric feels warm in very humid conditions.

While designed for breathability, extreme humidity can reduce the effectiveness of airflow. Ensure the garment is not too tight, as this can impede circulation. Consider a slightly looser fit if maximum airflow is critical in such conditions.

Stitching appears to be unraveling.

Inspect the garment for any loose threads. If there is a genuine defect in the stitching, contact Simms customer support for warranty information.

Garment doesn't seem to dry as quickly as expected.

Ensure the washing process has removed all residues from detergents or fabric softeners, which can hinder drying. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the fabric's wicking and drying properties.
