Troubleshooting
Jacket feels restrictive
Ensure the size is correct. Adjust the hem and cuff drawcords for a more comfortable fit. The elastane in the fabric provides some stretch.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or wax if it persists.
Jacket is not as warm as expected
This jacket is designed for wind protection and breathability, not heavy insulation. Layer a warm base layer or fleece underneath for added warmth in colder conditions.
