Troubleshooting
Vest feels loose or bounces during activity
Re-adjust the elastic cord system to achieve a more secure fit. Ensure all straps are properly fastened.
Soft flasks are difficult to insert or remove
Ensure the flasks are empty and properly aligned with the pockets. Do not force them.
Pockets do not securely hold phone or items
Ensure items are placed within the pocket as intended. For very small items, consider using a smaller internal pocket if available or a secure zipper pouch if your phone model fits.
Mesh fabric feels uncomfortable against skin
Wear moisture-wicking base layers or shirts under the vest to prevent direct skin contact and improve comfort.
