Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Check for fabric or debris caught in the zipper teeth. Clean the teeth with a small brush. If stiffness persists, apply a graphite pencil or wax to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels damp inside
Ensure all zippers are fully closed, including hand pockets and side vents. Check if the critically taped seams are intact. Consider if the garment has exceeded its waterproofing limit in extreme conditions or if prolonged exposure to moisture has occurred without proper drying.
Hood cinch is not tightening effectively
Inspect the cord and the stopper mechanism for damage or wear. Ensure the cord is correctly threaded through the eyelets and stopper. If the stopper is worn, it may need replacement.
Jacket has an odor
Machine wash according to care instructions. For persistent odors, consider a specialized sports wash or a soak in a mild solution of water and white vinegar (ensure to rinse thoroughly afterward).
