Troubleshooting
Jacket leaks water
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is properly adjusted. Check that seams are intact and not damaged. Re-evaluate care instructions, as fabric softener or improper drying can degrade waterproof properties.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Verify that the jacket is not too tight, which can restrict airflow. Ensure inner layers are not trapping excessive moisture. Check breathability rating against expected activity level; for very high-output activities, a more breathable garment might be needed.
Zipper is difficult to use
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If fabric is caught, carefully pull it away. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or wax if it continues to stick.
Hood doesn't fit securely
Adjust the drawstring and stoppers on the hood for a snugger fit. Ensure the hood is correctly attached if it has been removed.
