Troubleshooting
Shock cord not holding tension
Check the cord lock mechanism for debris or lint; clear it out to ensure the grip teeth can engage with the cord properly.
Fabric appearing matted or flat
Wash the garment according to instructions and tumble dry on a 'low heat' or 'air fluff' setting for a short duration to help restore loft.
Zip catching during operation
Ensure no loose fabric or thread is caught in the zipper track; gently clear any obstructions and use a standard graphite pencil on the zipper teeth if the slide is stiff.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket requires no formal setup—simply adjust the shock cord at the waist to your preferred tension before heading out. For compatibility, the standard fit is designed to accommodate base layers underneath without feeling overly bulky.
To ensure the longevity of the garment, follow these care guidelines:
- Washing: Machine wash on a gentle, cool cycle using mild detergent.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended to maintain the integrity of the fleece fibers. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, which can damage the synthetic material.
- Storage: Hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger in a cool, dry place to prevent creasing and to allow the fibers to remain lofted.
- General Care: Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces to prevent pilling or snagging of the fabric.
