Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and then apply a suitable re-waterproofing treatment suitable for polyester fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Lubricate the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil tip or a wax-based product. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Hood is difficult to pack away
Ensure the hood is completely dry and flat before attempting to roll it into the collar. Small adjustments to the rolling may be needed for it to fit neatly.
Interior feels clammy
Ensure all ventilation points (if any) are open. Check that you are not wearing excessively insulating layers underneath that could trap moisture. The jacket is breathable, but extreme exertion can still lead to internal moisture buildup.
