Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak through the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may be worn down. Wash the jacket and tumble dry low to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or sticks
Clean the zipper tracks with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris, then apply a small amount of zipper lubricant if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your jacket remains waterproof, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle using a mild, technical-friendly detergent. Do not use fabric softeners.
- Drying: Tumble dry on a low setting. Occasional tumble drying helps reactivate the water-repellent coating on the outer fabric.
- Storage: Ensure the jacket is completely dry before folding it into its packable pocket to prevent mildew or odors.
- Compatibility: This jacket is designed for standard outdoor activities. While durable, avoid contact with extremely sharp rock faces or thorny brush to maintain the integrity of the shell fabric.
