Troubleshooting
Zipper is sticking or difficult to move.
Gently pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. You can try rubbing a graphite pencil tip or a bit of lip balm along the teeth to lubricate them. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Vest feels too loose or too tight.
Refer to the sizing chart for accurate measurements. This vest features a 'comfort fit,' which is generally looser. If it doesn't feel right, consider exchanging for a different size, keeping in mind the intended layering use.
Seams appear to be fraying.
Check if this is normal wear for the ripstop fabric. If actual seam threads are unraveling, contact customer support for warranty information. Avoid excessive pulling on the seams.
