Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the DWR finish is intact. Wash the jacket with a technical wash and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate it. If necessary, apply a new DWR treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve glide.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure the internal vents (if any) are open and that the breathability of the fabric is not compromised by dirt or detergent residue. Check that the waterproof membrane is not blocked.
