Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully repelling water
Ensure the showerproofing treatment is intact. For older jackets, reapplication of a fabric-specific water-repellent spray may be necessary. Check that all zippers and seams are properly closed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Elasticated cuffs losing their stretch
Avoid high heat when drying. If significant loss of elasticity occurs, it may indicate wear and tear; professional repair might be an option for minor issues.
