Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through seams.
Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly with appropriate detergents and reapply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment if the existing finish has worn off.
Jacket feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the cuffs, hem, and hood using the provided toggles and touch fastening tabs. For persistent fit issues, consider the size chart before purchasing.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a wax or silicone lubricant. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
