Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure all seams are intact. Consider re-applying a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to the outer fabric. Clean the jacket thoroughly according to care instructions before re-applying treatment.
Reduced warmth or insulation effectiveness
Check for any damage to the insulation. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and debris can sometimes affect insulation properties. Follow care instructions for washing to maintain insulation integrity.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth and try moving it back and forth carefully.
Adjustable cuffs or hem no longer tighten properly
Check the drawcords and toggles for wear or damage. Ensure the toggles are correctly positioned to secure the fit.
