Troubleshooting

The jacket is not as waterproof as expected.

The jacket is showerproof, not fully waterproof. For heavy rain, consider a fully waterproof jacket. Re-apply durable water repellent (DWR) coating after washing.

Reflective elements appear less effective.

Clean the reflective areas with a damp cloth. Check for any damage that might be reducing reflectivity. Ensure the jacket is not covered by other clothing or gear.

Jacket feels too tight.

The semi-fitted design is meant to be close-fitting without restricting movement. Consider sizing up if you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear bulky layers underneath.
