Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush and lubricate with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Water is soaking through the fabric.
The water-repellent finish may have worn off. Consider re-applying a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for outdoor fabrics. Check care label to ensure no fabric softener was used during washing.
Seams are fraying.
If the fraying is minor, a quick stitch repair can prevent further damage. For significant fraying, professional repair might be needed.
