Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may need refreshing. Consider using a DWR re-treatment spray or wash-in product designed for outdoor apparel after cleaning the jacket.
Jacket feels stiff after washing.
Avoid high heat when drying. Tumble dry on a low heat setting as recommended. Do not iron, as high heat can damage the fabric.
Limited warmth in very cold conditions.
