Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the fabric.
Check the waterproof rating (8000mm). For prolonged heavy rain, consider layering with a more robust waterproof outer layer. Ensure no detergent residue remains from washing.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This indicates reduced breathability. Ensure the inner microfleece lining is clean and free from debris. Avoid wearing heavy, non-breathable layers underneath.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Elastic drawcord is not tightening properly.
Check that the cord and its toggle are not obstructed or damaged. Ensure the toggle is fully engaged to secure the hem.
