How should I dry the jacket?
It is best to tumble dry on low heat or hang dry away from direct sunlight. Ensure the zipper is closed before washing and drying.
What does DWR treatment mean?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It's a finish applied to the fabric that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface, helping to keep you dry in light rain.
Troubleshooting
Water not repelling effectively
The DWR finish may have worn off. Consider applying a DWR re-proofer according to product instructions after cleaning the jacket.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to work the zipper up and down. If persistent, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels less warm than expected
The recycled polyester padding can compress over time. Ensure you are layering appropriately for the weather conditions. Check for any damage to the outer fabric that might allow drafts.
