Troubleshooting

Jacket feels too warm.

Ensure the StayCool technology vent at the back is not obstructed. Check that the garment is the correct size and not too tight. Consider lighter layers underneath during extreme heat.

Press studs are difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the press studs are properly aligned before fastening. If they feel stiff, gently work them a few times. Report any persistent issues as a potential defect.

Fabric appears worn after washing.

Review washing instructions. Ensure the water temperature does not exceed 65°C and that the tumble dry setting is low. Avoid harsh detergents.

Pen pocket feels too small for specific pens.

This pocket is designed for standard-sized pens. For wider markers, use the chest pocket if appropriate.
