Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reapplication. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner, tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the existing DWR. If performance does not improve, apply a new DWR treatment following product instructions.

Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside

Ensure the jacket is clean. Dirt and residue can clog the membrane. Wash the jacket using a technical cleaner designed for waterproof fabrics. Check that vents (if any) are open and clear.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to operate

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based zipper lubricant or wax to help it glide smoothly. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Seam tape is peeling

This may indicate a manufacturing defect or excessive wear. Contact customer support for assessment. Avoid further washing or wear until resolved.

Care Instructions

To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable performance:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a technical wash cleaner specifically designed for waterproof outerwear. Avoid using fabric softeners or detergents, as they can degrade the fabric's performance.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20-30 minutes to reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Alternatively, hang dry and then tumble dry on low for 15 minutes.
  4. Re-proofing: If the DWR finish appears to be wearing off (water no longer beads on the surface), re-apply a DWR treatment following the product's instructions after washing and drying.
