Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer water repellent
Ensure the jacket is clean. Apply a new layer of PFC-free DWR treatment according to the product instructions. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach during washing as they can degrade the DWR finish.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a silicone-based lubricant) to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels less breathable
The fabric may be clogged with dirt or residue. Wash the jacket using a technical fabric cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the care labels are followed strictly.
Snowskirt is not staying in place
Ensure the snowskirt elastic is not stretched out. If it appears damaged, professional repair may be needed. Make sure the snowskirt is correctly fastened if it has a snap closure system.
