Troubleshooting

Jacket does not feel warm enough

Ensure you are layering appropriately underneath the jacket. The jacket is designed for warmth but also for style; consider adding a thermal base layer or a mid-layer fleece for colder conditions.

Zipper is difficult to move

Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth. If stiffness persists, a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant applied to the zipper teeth can help.

Outer fabric appears dull

The fabric has a technical finish which can be affected by external conditions. Ensure the jacket is clean. For a slight sheen, consult a dry cleaner experienced with technical outerwear. Do not attempt to polish the fabric yourself.

Minor snag or tear in ripstop fabric

For very small snags, they may not affect performance significantly. For larger tears, consult a professional tailor specializing in outerwear or technical fabrics for repair.
