Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
Ensure the jacket has been washed according to care instructions and that no fabric softeners were used. Re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish designed for technical outerwear may also help restore water repellency. Check the integrity of the TPU membrane for any visible damage.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a small amount of beeswax or a specialized zipper lubricant along the teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down until it moves smoothly.
Elasticated cuffs/hem losing elasticity.
Avoid excessive heat during drying, as this can degrade elastic. Gentle washing and air drying are recommended. If elasticity is significantly compromised, it may indicate wear and tear.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can sometimes occur with waterproof materials in humid conditions or during high exertion. Ensure the main zipper and hood are adjusted to allow for ventilation. The jacket's breathability is optimized for moderate activity.
