Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully waterproof after washing
Ensure you followed the care instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents and do not use fabric softener, as these can degrade the waterproof coating. Consider reapplying a waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear if performance diminishes over time.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to clear the obstruction. Lubricate the zipper with a wax-based product or a graphite pencil tip rubbed along the teeth. Ensure the 2-way zipper is aligned correctly at the base before zipping.
Reflective trim is peeling or damaged
Avoid aggressive washing or drying. If minor peeling occurs, try ironing over it on a low setting with a protective cloth. For significant damage, the trim may need professional repair or replacement, though this is uncommon with proper care.
Hood drawcord is not tightening properly
Check that the cord lock mechanism is functioning correctly. Ensure the cord itself is not frayed or damaged. If the cord is excessively long, it might require trimming and re-securing the end if it impedes function.
