Troubleshooting
Jacket not shedding water effectively
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Consider using a DWR re-treatment spray suitable for polyester and cotton blends following product instructions.
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax along the zipper teeth can help.
Fabric feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a cold wash cycle and not excessive heat for drying. A low tumble dry with a dryer sheet or line drying is recommended. Avoid fabric softeners which can impact DWR treatment.
