Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels waterproof

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions.

Water seeping through zippers

Ensure zippers are fully closed and that the WP (waterproof) zipper teeth are clean and free from debris. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.
