Troubleshooting

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull any snagged fabric away. If stiffness persists, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or wax to the zipper teeth.

Fleece material appears pilled

Pilling can occur with normal wear and washing. To minimize it, wash the fleece inside out and avoid excessive abrasion. Use a fabric shaver for existing pills.

Garment loses its shape after washing

Ensure you are following the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid high heat drying, which can damage synthetic fibers. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.
