Troubleshooting
Water repellency is decreasing.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating may need reapplication. Use a DWR spray suitable for polyester fabrics, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it remains stiff, a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant can be applied to the teeth.
Jacket feels less warm than expected.
This jacket is designed for lightweight insulation. For colder weather, consider layering it over warmer garments like a fleece or wool sweater.

Care Instructions:
To maintain the water-repellent finish and the integrity of the jacket:
- Washing: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the water-repellent treatment and fabric.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Ensure the jacket is fully dry before storing.
- Re-applying Water Repellency: Over time, the DWR treatment may diminish. You can reapply a waterproofing spray specifically designed for synthetic fabrics to restore its water-repellent properties. Follow the product's instructions carefully.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on a low setting, avoiding direct contact with any printed logos or embellishments.
