Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check if the DWR finish needs reapplication. Wash and re-proof the jacket according to care instructions.

The jacket feels less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can affect breathability. Avoid wearing the jacket with highly absorbent layers that trap moisture.

Zippers are sticking.

Clean the zippers with a damp cloth and apply a zipper lubricant if necessary.

Hood adjustment is not working.

Inspect the drawcords and adjusters for any damage. Ensure they are not tangled or blocked.
