What does '3L' mean in the product description?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's care instructions.
Hood is not fitting securely
Adjust the drawstring on the hood to tighten the fit around the face and ensure it remains in place during windy conditions.
Zipper is difficult to close
Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If persistent, contact customer support.
Jacket feels clammy inside
While the jacket is breathable, intense activity can still lead to internal moisture. Ensure the garment is properly ventilated by adjusting the hood and cuff closures. Check that the mesh lining is not obstructed.
