Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof.
Ensure all zips are fully closed and the stormflap is secured. Check for any damage to the fabric or PU coating. Re-waterproof using appropriate fabric care products if necessary.
Water is getting in around the cuffs or hem.
Adjust the elasticated cuffs and use the cordlock toggle system on the hem to tighten the fit and seal out moisture.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
While the jacket offers breathability, in very humid conditions or during intense activity, some moisture buildup can occur. Ensure you are wearing appropriate base layers and adjust ventilation by opening zips if possible.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently try to move the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a graphite pencil tip) to the zipper teeth to help it glide smoothly.
