Troubleshooting
Jacket seems less waterproof over time.
Ensure you are following the washing instructions carefully. Excessive washing or using fabric softeners can reduce water repellency. Re-proofing sprays designed for waterproof outerwear can be applied if needed.
Jacket feels stiff after washing.
This can happen if the jacket is not allowed to air dry completely or if exposed to direct heat. Always air dry flat or on a hanger. The fabric should soften with wear.
Unpleasant odor develops.
Wash the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. For stubborn odors, consider using a specialized outdoor gear wash designed to neutralize smells.
Hood doesn't stay in place.
Utilize the adjustable toggles and drawstrings on the snorkel hood to achieve a secure and comfortable fit. Adjust them to tighten around your face and neck.
Jacket feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure you selected the correct size based on your measurements and intended layering. If the fit is consistently uncomfortable, consider consulting a sizing chart or trying an alternative size.
