Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth and gently work the zipper up and down.
Seams appear to be fraying
Trim any loose threads with scissors. If the fraying is significant, consider reinforcing the seam with a few stitches.
Fit is too tight or too loose at the waist
Utilize the semi-elasticated waistband for minor adjustments. If the difference is significant, consider if a different size might be more appropriate. The wide belt loops allow for use with a belt for added security.
Pockets do not securely hold items
Ensure all pocket flaps (especially cargo and security zip pockets) are properly closed. For items in open side pockets, be mindful of movement.
