The DWR coating may have worn off; tumble dry the garment on low heat or apply a re-waterproofing spray to restore the finish.

Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or grit, then apply a tiny amount of wax or silicone lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Vika Jacket in peak condition, ensure the hood is properly adjusted using the drawstrings for a snug fit. Compatibility with layering is high due to the relaxed cut; you can easily wear a light mid-layer underneath during cooler days. For care, it is recommended to wash the jacket using a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can compromise the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Periodically checking the zippers for debris will ensure they remain smooth and functional over the lifespan of the garment.
