Troubleshooting
Jacket no longer repels water effectively.
The water-repellent finish may have diminished. Consider using a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) re-waterproofer spray suitable for athletic wear after washing, following the product's instructions.
Zipper is stuck.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it's caught on fabric, carefully pull the fabric away from the zipper teeth. A small amount of graphite from a pencil can sometimes help lubricate stuck zippers.
Hood adjustment cord is frayed or broken.
Contact Nike customer service for potential replacement parts or repair advice. For minor fraying, you can try sealing the end with a flame (with caution) or a fabric glue.
