Troubleshooting
Water is not beading off the surface.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off due to use and washing. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment after washing, following product instructions.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
Ensure the jacket is not being worn in conditions that exceed its breathability rating, or consider that moisture may be coming from internal perspiration. Ensure all zippers and closures are fully sealed.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to improve smooth operation.
Jacket has lost its shape after washing.
Ensure the washing and drying instructions were strictly followed. Avoid tumble drying and ironing, which can damage the fabric and membrane. Reshape the garment while damp and allow it to air dry.
