Troubleshooting
Water stops beading on the surface of the jacket
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the garment with a technical cleaner and tumble dry on a low setting to reactivate or reapply a DWR treatment.
Difficulty operating the main zipper
Check for dirt or debris trapped in the zipper teeth. Clean gently with a soft brush and ensure no internal fabric is caught in the track.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is designed for intuitive use, with minimal adjustments required. To maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish, it is recommended to wash the jacket periodically using a technical gear cleaner. Always follow the specific care label instructions inside the garment. Ensure the zippers are closed before laundering and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent coating. Compatibility-wise, the jacket fits well over base layers and light mid-layers; however, check the sizing carefully if you intend to layer it over thick, bulky down parkas to ensure full range of motion.
