Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Feel damp inside despite no rain leaks
This is likely condensation buildup from high physical exertion. Ensure you are layering correctly with moisture-wicking base layers to improve moisture vapor transfer.
Stiff or sticky front zipper
Clean any debris or grit from the zipper teeth using a soft brush, then apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket continues to perform effectively, proper care is essential. The jacket is designed with a durable polyester outer that should be kept clean to prevent dirt and oils from clogging the breathable membrane.
- Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle using a specialized technical fabric cleaner. Avoid standard detergents or fabric softeners, as these can strip the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
- Drying: Air dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Direct heat or tumble drying at high temperatures can damage the 3-layer lamination.
- Re-proofing: If water stops beading on the surface, apply a DWR spray designed for outdoor technical apparel to restore water repellency.
- Storage: Hang in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving the jacket compressed in a pack for long periods to maintain the shape of the hood and seams.
