Troubleshooting
Jacket zipper is stiff or difficult to close.
Ensure the zipper is clear of debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down.
Reduced water repellency after washing.
Wash the jacket according to care instructions without fabric softener. Reapply a water-repellent treatment suitable for softshell fabrics, following the treatment product's guidelines.
Drawstring for hem adjustment is loose.
Locate the cord lock mechanism at the hem. Ensure it is functioning correctly and tighten as needed. If the cord is frayed, it may need replacement.
Velcro on sleeve ends no longer secures firmly.
Clean the Velcro surfaces with a small brush to remove lint and debris. If worn out, the Velcro may need professional repair or replacement.
