How do I adjust the fit?

Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to open or close.
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. If the zipper is dirty, clean it gently with a damp cloth. If it persists, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant applied to the zipper teeth can help.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Check that the size is correct. Adjust the drawstring hem and Velcro sleeve ends for a better fit. Consider layering with thinner base layers if needed.
Water is penetrating the fabric.
This jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For heavy rain, a waterproof outer shell is recommended. Ensure any DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment is intact; reapply if necessary following product guidelines.
Pockets are not secure.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. Check zippers for damage. If a zipper is faulty, it may need repair or replacement.
