Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The PU coating or DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment according to the product's instructions.
Hood adjustment not effective
Ensure the cordlock toggle is being tightened correctly. Check that the cord is not frayed or damaged. If damaged, replacement cord may be required.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a toothbrush and mild soap and water. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or beeswax to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside
This can happen if the jacket's breathability is compromised. Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt and sweat. Consider layering with moisture-wicking base layers.
