What materials are used in the jacket?
The outer is 100% Polyester with a DWR finish. The lining is Taffeta, and the filling is insulated Thermo-Guard. The garment is also made from recycled materials.
Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof or water is soaking through.
The DWR finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment after washing and drying according to product instructions. Ensure all seams are taped and intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a wax (like a candle or beeswax) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Hood is not providing adequate coverage.
Adjust the toggle adjuster on the hood and ensure the wired peak is correctly positioned to frame your face.
Jacket feels less breathable than expected.
Check if the garment lining is damp or if vents (if any) are obstructed. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can impede breathability. Wash according to care instructions.
