Troubleshooting

Down migration causing cold spots.

Gently massage the affected area to redistribute the down. Avoid overfilling the jacket with down as this can stretch the baffles and worsen the issue.

Outer fabric wetting out.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt can affect the water-resistant properties. Re-apply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment if necessary.

Zipper sticking or catching.

Lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
