Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through seams.
Ensure all seams are properly thermo-welded. If the issue persists after proper care and re-waterproofing, contact customer support.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly. Apply a small amount of wax or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure the flap is not caught in the zipper.
Hood drawstrings are not tightening effectively.
Check that the cord locks are functioning correctly. Ensure the drawstrings are not frayed or damaged. If damaged, they may need replacement.
