Troubleshooting
Vest is not repelling water effectively
Ensure the outer fabric is clean. Dirt and oils can degrade water repellency. Re-treatment with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray might be necessary after extended use, following product-specific instructions.
Insulation appears clumpy after washing
This can happen with down or synthetic insulation. Tumble dry on low with a few clean tennis balls or dryer balls to help break up clumps and restore loft.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Ensure the garment is fully zipped up before washing/drying. Gently try to move the zipper; if it's stuck on fabric, carefully free it. If the zipper is damaged, professional repair may be needed.
