Mine is starting to do that too. I would imagine just getting a seamstress to bond it better on the bottom.

I sent my back because of that very problem. Only mine started after only 10 uses. Very disappointing

It was a gift for my daughter and she is over 200lbs. I know she no longer has it. Not sure what happened to it. Sorry, I can't be more helpful.

I have been wearing mine on and off for about two years, more frequently the past few months. The velcro on the middle strap is starting to not stick as well. I might try to figure out a way to rig it, but honestly for the price I might just order a new one. This split works well, better than others I have had.

Contact Teton at their website. They sold me replacement fabric and rubber feet. Nice customer service was provided.

Probably just need to replace the belt. Should be a cheap part and an easy replacement - it's essentially a large rubber band underneath the platter. May have gotten stretched due to heat or some other factor.

Sounds like a manufacturing error, the one I got is quite solid and stable. One solution to that might be to insert a sleeve to tighten up the loose space or if you just purchased it see if you can get it replaced.You might have to improvise and create one from plastic or something similar. Teflon would be great.

Thanks for your interest in the stool. I don't have one to look at right now but I am confident the seat can be removed with screws from the bottom to replace material.ThanksRussell WestWest Furnishings

The vest is durable but the weights are held in mesh therefore you can handwash or spray the vest down. I would not put it in the washer even on a gentle cycle. Also, make sure you remove all the weights before washing.

Ours flop all around, but I'm sure if you knew someone who did alterations or could sew a little, you could buy some foam and re-sew them into the pieces to make them as firm as you'd like. Depends on how badly you want it fixed I guess. That, or you could just buy a new one if it's the same cost to fix it.

The weight slots/pockets look exactly like the long-style MIR vest that I own. If that is true, the biggest weights you can fit in there are 5 pounders (1 inch variety, as you mentioned) and only 2 of them in each slot. Also, NOT all 5 lb. weights will fit! Your best bet is to take your vest into a sporting goods store and trying adding two 5 lb. weights to a slot.I have to qualify all of this again by saying that I own an older (1 year old) LONG STYLE vest! It just so happens that the slots/pockets look exactly the same in the pics.

Sorry I'm just now seeing this one but it is very very hard to remove weight from the vest. You will risk damaging the vest trying to remove them because the pockets are so tight. If you don plan on wearing 50 pounds I'd recommend a smaller size vest first. I ended up getting a 25 pound vest for most of my bodyweight training and once a month I put on this monster to challenge my strength gains.

Contact the Mfg. Also occasionally you can find a canvas company that will do repairs but I would contact the mfg.

This happened to mine. All you need to do is remove the fastener that holds the two pieces together and separate, clean in soapy water and reassemble, just don't tighten it as much as the factory did.

I would suggest that you contact EvoShield. (Go to their website and get the contact info.) My son's shirt had stitching that unraffled. They replaced it after I contacted them, maybe they can help you out as well. Good luck!
