Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer waterproof.

Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly according to care instructions. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if necessary. Check all seams for damage.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a mild soap. Dry thoroughly and apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite pencil to the teeth.

Jacket feels clammy inside.

This can be due to high humidity or the breathability limit being reached during intense activity. Ensure the front zipper and any pit zips (if applicable on other models) are open for ventilation. Check that inner layers are not trapping moisture.

Fabric has a sticky feel after washing.

This may be residue from detergent. Ensure you rinse thoroughly. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability.
