Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric surface
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray or wash-in treatment to restore water repellency.
The zipper feels stiff or sticks
Clean the zipper tracks of any debris or dirt using a soft brush. If the issue persists, rub a small amount of paraffin wax or a dedicated zipper lubricant on the teeth.
Internal condensation buildup
Ensure you are using appropriate base layers; avoid cotton, which holds moisture. Use technical, moisture-wicking synthetic or wool layers to assist the jacket's breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your jacket performing at its best, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR coating.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to air dry. A short tumble dry on low heat after washing can actually help reactivate the DWR treatment.
- Maintenance: Over time, water will stop beading on the surface; this indicates the DWR treatment needs refreshing. Use a standard spray-on or wash-in DWR revitalizer following the manufacturer's directions.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing it compressed in a tight bag for extended periods, as this can cause creases and impact the integrity of the technical membrane.
