Troubleshooting
The jacket is not as wind-resistant as expected.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood is properly adjusted. Consider layering with a fleece or insulated mid-layer for added warmth and wind protection.
The jacket is not repelling water effectively.
The DWR finish may need to be reapplied. Wash and dry the jacket, then follow the instructions for applying a DWR treatment.
Zippers are sticking or difficult to operate.
Apply a zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid pulling the zipper forcefully.
The jacket feels too warm during activity.
Adjust the layers you are wearing underneath the jacket. Open the front zipper or use the pit zips if applicable to increase ventilation.
