Troubleshooting
Water repellency decreasing
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication after several washes. Use a specific DWR spray or wash-in treatment designed for outdoor gear.
Jacket feels damp inside during heavy activity
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and check that the fabric's breathability is not compromised by dirt or residue. A cool wash with appropriate cleaner can help restore breathability.

For fresh stains, try spot cleaning with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, follow the recommended cool machine wash procedure. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
