Troubleshooting
Water is seeping through the jacket.
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the hood is adjusted. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric. If the issue persists, the waterproof coating may need to be re-treated. Consider reapplying a durable water repellent (DWR).
The zipper is sticking.
Lubricate the zipper with a wax-based lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down to loosen any obstructions.
The jacket feels too warm.
