What is the MVP rating?

Troubleshooting

Jacket is not as waterproof as expected.

Ensure all seams are intact and that the waterproof zipper closure is fully zipped. Re-waterproof the garment if necessary following manufacturer guidelines. Check that care instructions regarding washing and fabric softeners have been followed.

Reduced thermal insulation.

Verify that the inner lining is clean and free from debris. Ensure the jacket is fully zipped and that adjustable cuffs and hem are secured to prevent heat loss. Wash according to care instructions if the lining appears soiled.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a small brush and warm water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.

Fit is too loose or too tight.

Utilize the adjustable waist, drawcord hem, and adjustable touch-tape cuffs to achieve a more personalized fit. If the overall size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size if within the return period.
