Troubleshooting
Garment feels damp after activity
Ensure the fabric's moisture-wicking properties are not compromised by excessive detergent buildup. Wash according to care instructions with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly.
Discomfort from static cling
Static cling can sometimes occur with synthetic fabrics. Ensure proper washing and drying procedures as per care instructions. Avoid over-drying in the dryer.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. If the zipper remains stiff, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
