Troubleshooting
Jacket still gets wet in rain
The 'Run Repel' feature is designed for light rain. For heavy downpours, a more robust waterproof jacket is recommended. Ensure the zipper is fully closed and the hood is properly adjusted.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. If it feels stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) rubbed on the teeth can help lubricate it.
Packable pocket is hard to use
Ensure the jacket is folded neatly and turned inside out before attempting to pack it into the pocket. Laying it flat can help.
Reflective Swoosh is peeling
Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying, and do not iron directly on the reflective print. If peeling persists after following care instructions, contact customer support.
