Troubleshooting

Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap and water. Ensure the fabric around the zipper is not caught. Allow to dry completely before testing.

Waistband feels too loose or too tight.

Adjust the part-elasticated waistband for comfort. If further adjustment is needed, use a belt with the low-profile belt loops.
