Hi Trisha!
Thank you so much for providing some feedback on your Performance Joggers. I am sorry to hear they began to pill. I wanted to offer some support in regards to this matter! Below is some information about pilling:
In our experience, abrasion is typically the culprit when it comes to pilling, not the fabric itself. Here are some tips to minimize abrasion and reduce pilling:
-Wash your garments inside out with like colors and fabrics, this will reduce friction and prevent lighter colored fibers from clinging to the darker ones.
-Avoid washing with anything abrasive such as towels, jeans, open zippers, etc.
Things like a backpack constantly rubbing against your back, or even just sitting against rough surfaces such as concrete can encourage pills to form, so minimizing exposure to these things is best!
I hope this helps! If the pilling continues to happen, don’t hesitate to reach out to support@vuoriclothing.com. We will be happy to help you with a return.
Thanks again for providing that feedback. Have an awesome day!
