Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check if the DWR coating is worn. Wash and tumble dry the jacket to reactivate it. Reapply DWR if needed. Check seams for any damage.

The jacket feels clammy and less breathable.

Ensure you are using appropriate layering. Open the pit zips for better ventilation. Wash the jacket to remove dirt and oils that can impede breathability.

Zippers are sticking or difficult to operate.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant or a bar of soap. Clean the zippers of any dirt or debris.

Hood adjustment is not functioning properly.

Check the cord locks and adjusters for any obstructions. Ensure the cord is not tangled or damaged.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This jacket requires no specific setup. However, to maximize its performance and longevity, follow these guidelines:

Compatibility: The jacket's regular fit is designed to accommodate layering. Consider wearing base layers and mid-layers for added warmth and insulation depending on the weather conditions. Pair it with appropriate hiking pants and footwear.
Care Instructions: Machine wash the jacket on a gentle cycle with cold water (30°C/86°F). Use a non-detergent soap to maintain the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the DWR. If the DWR fades, you can re-apply it using a spray-on product.
Storage: Store the jacket in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid compressing it for extended periods to maintain its loft and breathability.
