Troubleshooting
Coverall does not feel waterproof.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and storm flaps are secured. Check for any visible damage to seams or the fabric coating. Reapply waterproofing treatment if necessary, following product instructions.
Coverall is too warm during activity.
Utilize the zipped under-arm ventilation to increase airflow. Consider wearing lighter layers underneath if working in moderately warm, wet conditions.
Fit is uncomfortable or restrictive.
Adjust the hem and cuffs using the provided adjusters. Ensure the correct size has been selected; the coverall is intended to be worn over other clothing, so ensure adequate space.
Reflective tape or piping is peeling.
Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents. If minor peeling occurs, consider using a fabric-safe adhesive or a specialized repair kit for reflective materials.
