Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the fabric.

Ensure all seams are intact and taped. Check that the main zippers and flaps are properly sealed. If the waterproof membrane is compromised, the garment may need replacement. Follow washing instructions carefully to maintain fabric performance.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat in washing and drying cycles. Do not iron directly on the reflective tape. If damaged, the tape cannot be easily repaired and may affect visibility.

Stain-resistant finish is no longer effective.

Re-apply a suitable fabric waterproofing spray after washing, following the spray manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the garment is clean before re-applying treatments.

Zipper is difficult to operate.

Clean the zipper teeth to remove any debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper track. Ensure the fabric flap is not caught in the zipper.
