How do I maintain the water-repellent properties?

Can this jacket be worn for strenuous physical activity?

Yes, the articulated sleeves and breathable softshell fabric are designed to allow for a good range of motion and comfort during physical activity.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels tight in the shoulders or sleeves

Ensure you have selected the correct size. This jacket is designed with a female fit, which may differ from standard sizing. Consult the size chart if unsure.

Water is soaking through the fabric

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment suitable for softshell fabrics. Ensure the jacket is clean before reapplication.

Zipper is sticking

Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, check for any fabric caught in the teeth. You can also apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Jacket is not breathable and feels clammy

Ensure the garment is not excessively dirty, as dirt can clog the membrane's pores. Clean the jacket according to the care instructions. Also, check that inner layers are not trapping moisture.
