Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.
Fleece material is pilling.
This can occur with normal wear. To minimize, wash the jacket inside out in cold water on a gentle cycle and avoid high-heat drying. Use a fabric shaver for minor pilling.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Ensure you have selected the correct size using the provided size chart. If it's still restrictive, consider if a larger size or a different model might be more suitable for your needs.
Softshell panels are damaged.
For minor abrasions, the jacket may still be functional. For significant tears or damage, consider professional repair or replacement.
