Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check the seams and cuffs for any damage. Ensure the zipper is fully closed and the hood is properly adjusted. If the issue persists, the waterproof coating may need to be refreshed with a specialized product.

The jacket feels less breathable.

Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can reduce breathability. Consider layering appropriately for the activity level and weather conditions. Avoid wearing excessively thick or non-breathable layers underneath.
