Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the outer fabric
The DWR coating has likely worn off. Re-apply a waterproofing spray to restore the water-beading effect.
Inside feels damp during heavy activity
Ensure you are layering with moisture-wicking base layers; the jacket is breathable but functions best when moisture is moved away from the skin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof over time, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a warm setting using a gentle cycle, preferably with a technical detergent designed for waterproof gear.
- Drying: Air dry whenever possible; avoid high-heat tumble drying as it may damage the membrane.
- Re-proofing: If water stops beading on the surface, apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray to the exterior fabric.
- Storage: Hang the jacket in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
