Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking or no longer waterproof.
Ensure the jacket has been washed and dried according to care instructions. Over time, the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may wear off. Reapplying a DWR treatment can restore water repellency. Check seams for damage.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Gently try to move the zipper. If it is stuck on fabric, carefully dislodge the material. A small amount of wax or graphite (from a pencil tip) rubbed on the zipper teeth can help it glide more smoothly.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can happen if the jacket's breathability is compromised or if worn in very humid conditions without adequate ventilation. Ensure the main zipper and pocket zippers are open for airflow when possible. Wash the jacket according to care instructions to remove any residues that may affect breathability.
