Troubleshooting
Water starts soaking into the fabric rather than beading off
The DWR coating has worn off. Wash the jacket and reapply a DWR spray treatment to restore the water-beading function.
Zipper is sticking
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the teeth with a soft brush and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant or wax if necessary.
Feeling damp inside the jacket
Ensure the hood and hem are adjusted properly. If the weather is warm and you are exerting yourself, ensure the breathability isn't overwhelmed by heavy physical activity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, follow these care instructions:
- Cleaning: Machine wash in warm water using a technical detergent designed for outerwear. Avoid heavy fabric softeners as they can damage the fabric's performance.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting or hang to dry. Using a dryer on low heat can actually help reactivate the water-repellent finish.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating. If water stops beading on the surface, consider applying a technical spray-on repellent.
- Compatibility: The jacket is designed to be worn over standard t-shirts, button-downs, or light sweaters. If you plan to wear a bulky parka underneath, consider sizing up.
