Troubleshooting
Fabric feels stiff after washing
This may be due to detergent residue. Try rinsing the garment again with a small amount of mild detergent, followed by a cold rinse. Ensure it's thoroughly dried on a low setting or air-dried.
Water-repellency seems reduced
Over time, the DWR treatment can wear off. Consider reapplying a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product specifically designed for outdoor apparel. Ensure the garment is clean before application.
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Lubricating the teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a specialized zipper lubricant can help.
