Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free of dirt or residue. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment following the manufacturer's instructions.
Zip is stiff or difficult to use
Gently try to move the zip up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zip lubricant to the teeth.
Fabric feels clammy inside
This can be due to insufficient ventilation or high humidity. Ensure the zip is partially open and consider wearing breathable layers underneath. Check that the fabric's breathability has not been compromised by dirt; wash according to care instructions.
