What materials is the jacket made from?

How many times should I wash this jacket?

The care label suggests a maximum of 20 washes for optimal performance. It's important to follow the specific care instructions for each wash.

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not as water-repellent as before.

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting. This reactivates the water-repellent treatment. Ensure you are using liquid detergent and not fabric softener.

Zipper is difficult to move.

Ensure the zipper is clean and free of debris. You can try applying a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth. Make sure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Hood does not fit securely.

Adjust the vertical and horizontal drawcords on the hood to achieve a snug fit. Ensure it is properly positioned over or around your helmet if applicable.

Reduced comfort or mobility.

Verify that the jacket size is correct. The articulated sleeves and design should allow for ample movement. Check that internal drawcords or other adjustments are not hindering movement.
