Troubleshooting
Water soaking into the outer fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating may be worn off; tumble dry the clean jacket on low heat or apply a re-proofing spray.
Build-up of condensation inside the jacket

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the performance of the 3-layer nylon membrane, avoid storing the jacket when wet or damp. Clean the garment periodically using a technical gear wash to remove dirt and body oils, which can clog the breathable pores. Always follow the manufacturer's care label, typically involving a gentle machine wash and low-heat tumble dry to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating. Ensure all zippers are fully closed during wash cycles to protect the fabric finish.
