Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric instead of beading off
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Wash the jacket with a technical cleaner and apply a fresh DWR water-repellent treatment.
Feeling damp inside the jacket during heavy exertion
Open the pit zips to increase airflow and ensure your base layers are moisture-wicking and not made of cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your jacket, always zip up all zippers and secure the hook-and-loop cuff tabs before laundering. Machine wash on a gentle cycle using a technical detergent specifically designed for waterproof membranes; avoid standard laundry detergents, as they can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Periodically re-treat the exterior fabric with a spray-on or wash-in DWR treatment when you notice water no longer beads on the surface. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid compressing it in tight spaces for extended periods to maintain the integrity of the 3-layer laminate.
