Troubleshooting
Jacket not fully waterproof
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the hood and cuffs are adjusted correctly. Check if the taped seams are intact. Consider reproofing the outer fabric if water repellency has diminished.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or wax to the zipper teeth. Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper. Use the easy-grip pullers for smoother operation.
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Verify that the Insulatex lining is functioning correctly and that no cold air is entering through the cuffs or hem. Ensure the jacket is zipped up completely and the hood is adjusted.
Reflective trim is peeling or damaged
Avoid high heat during washing and drying. If damage has occurred, the reflective properties will be compromised in that area. Avoid ironing directly on the trim.
