Troubleshooting
Water begins soaking through the fabric surface
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Wash the jacket and tumble dry on low heat to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR treatment spray.
Condensation buildup inside the jacket
Open the pit zips to increase airflow and ensure you are layering appropriately with moisture-wicking base layers instead of cotton.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Torrentshell, always follow the care label instructions. Wash the garment in cold water using a technical gear cleaner to preserve the H2No membrane and the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can clog the pores of the breathable membrane. Periodically tumble dry the jacket on low heat or use a low-heat iron to help reactivate the DWR finish if water stops beading on the surface. For storage, hang the jacket in a cool, dry place rather than keeping it compressed in its pocket for extended periods.
