Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too warm or too cool during activity.
Utilize the full zip fastening to regulate your body temperature. Zip down for increased ventilation to cool off, or zip up completely to retain warmth. Consider layering appropriately underneath based on weather conditions, as the jacket is lightweight and not filled.
Items are falling out of the pockets during movement.
The two pockets are designed for convenient, quick access. For active use, place only light, non-valuable items in the pockets. If carrying valuable or larger items, consider using a running belt or secure backpack with zippered compartments for added security, as these pockets do not feature closures.
Water resistance seems less effective over time.
Water-resistant treatments (DWR) can diminish with wear and improper washing. Ensure you are following proper care instructions (once available) to preserve the DWR. If the DWR has worn off, you can re-apply a DWR treatment spray or wash-in product specifically designed for technical outerwear.
