This is a lightweight windbreaker and offers minimal insulation. For colder temperatures, it is best worn as an outer shell layered over warmer insulating clothing like fleece or down.
You can machine wash the jacket cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach. Tumble dry on low or hang dry. Do not iron or dry clean.
Wash the jacket using a mild detergent and tumble dry on low heat. This can help reactivate the water-repellent finish. For a more thorough restoration, consider using a specialized DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray after washing and drying.
Ensure the drawcord is not tangled or obstructed. Check the cord lock mechanism for any debris. If the cord itself is frayed, it may need replacement.
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it catches on fabric, carefully try to free the fabric. Lubricating the zipper teeth with a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax can help it run smoother.
