Troubleshooting
Jacket is not repelling water effectively.
The Omni-Shield™ finish may be wearing off. Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Reapplication of a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment may be necessary after extended use and multiple washes.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to clear any obstructions. Lubricating the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant can help improve its movement.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
This can happen if the fabric becomes clogged with dirt or residue from detergents. Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing the jacket according to the care instructions. Avoid fabric softeners, which can impede breathability.
