Troubleshooting
Fabric not drying as quickly as expected.
Ensure the garment is not overly saturated with oils or heavy detergents. Wash according to care instructions, and avoid using fabric softener. Air drying in a well-ventilated area can also improve drying time.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Check the zipper for any fabric snags. Gently pull any caught fabric away. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Reduced sun protection effectiveness after multiple washes.
Sun protection factor (UPF) can decrease over time with wear and washing. While this hoody offers UPF 40+, consider adding sunscreen for extended or intense sun exposure if you notice reduced performance. Avoid harsh detergents and high heat drying, which can accelerate degradation.
