Troubleshooting
Omni-Shield™ effectiveness seems reduced.
The water and stain repellency may diminish over time with heavy use and washing. Consider a re-application of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish suitable for outdoor apparel to restore performance.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently try moving the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil, bar soap, or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Waistband feels too tight or too loose.
The comfort stretch waistband offers some give. If it consistently feels uncomfortable, consider if the sizing is appropriate. These shorts do not have adjustable external waist ties.
