Troubleshooting
Hoody feels tight or restrictive
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Check the fit in the shoulders and chest. The stretchy fabric should offer some give.
Fabric not drying as quickly as expected
Ensure the garment is not overloaded in the washing machine to allow for proper rinsing. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can impede drying.
Lens cleaner is dirty or ineffective
The integrated lens cleaner can be gently washed with the garment. For persistent grime, a separate specialized lens cloth may be more effective.
Moisture-wicking properties seem reduced
Wash the garment with a technical fabric wash or a small amount of liquid detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and excess detergent, which can clog the fabric's pores.
