Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Crivit Women's Cycling Jacket, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Jacket no longer repels water effectively. | Bionic Eco finish may be compromised by dirt, improper washing, or wear. | Wash the jacket according to instructions. Avoid fabric softeners. If the issue persists, the finish may need re-treatment with a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) product (not supplied by Crivit). |
| Reflective elements appear dull or less visible. | Dirt or mud accumulation on the reflective surfaces. | Gently clean the reflective areas with a damp cloth. Ensure they are dry before storage. |
| Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate. | Dirt, debris, or lack of lubrication. | Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush. Apply a zipper lubricant if necessary (ensure it's fabric-safe). |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact Crivit customer support.
