Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer feels waterproof; water soaks into the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outerwear following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant) to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper mechanism.
Jacket feels clammy or damp inside during activity.
Ensure underarm vents are open. Check that base layers are made of moisture-wicking material, not cotton. If the issue persists, the jacket's breathability might be compromised by dirt; clean according to care instructions.
Removable powder skirt is difficult to reattach.
Align the attachment points carefully. Ensure both the jacket and the powder skirt are dry. Refer to the jacket's internal labels or diagrams if available for correct alignment.
