Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush if there is any debris. Lubricate with a graphite pencil tip or a specific zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels less breathable
Check if the inner lining or outer fabric is dirty or clogged. Follow the care instructions for washing. Ensure the hood and hem adjustments are not closed too tightly, which can restrict airflow.
Seams feel cold or drafty
Adjust the hem drawcords and sleeve Velcro for a tighter seal. Consider layering with an additional insulating garment underneath for enhanced warmth.
