Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood and hem are properly adjusted. Check if the DWR coating needs re-application by washing the jacket with a DWR-specific cleaner and applying a new DWR treatment.

Zippers are sticking.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant or a bar of soap. Avoid forcing the zippers.

The hood doesn't stay in place.

Tighten the hood adjustments to secure it against wind and rain.
