Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively.
The DWR treatment may have diminished. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and consider applying a DWR re-proofer spray or wash, following the product's specific guidelines.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Ensure there are no fabric obstructions. Gently try to move the zipper. You can lubricate the zipper teeth with a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Fabric feels damp after light rain.
This jacket is designed for light water repellency. For heavy or prolonged rain, a more robust waterproof garment is recommended. Ensure the DWR treatment is active.
Jacket has lost its shape after washing.
Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely, especially regarding washing temperature and avoiding tumble drying. Reshape the jacket while damp and lay flat or hang to dry.
