Troubleshooting
Water appears to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off. Apply a specialized DWR re-proofer spray suitable for softshell fabrics.
Zip feels stiff or sticks when opening
Clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove any dirt or salt and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your DLX Lorimer jacket maintains its performance, avoid using heavy fabric softeners or bleaching agents during washing, as these can strip the TPU membrane of its protective qualities. Always wash on a gentle cycle in cool water and hang to dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. Because this is a softshell, it is designed for layering; consider wearing a base layer or a light fleece underneath during colder months to maximize warmth. Check the zip tracks periodically for grit or debris to ensure smooth operation of the water-repellent zipper.
