Troubleshooting
Water is penetrating the jacket.
Check for any damage to the outer fabric, such as tears or punctures. If there are any, repair them. Re-treat the jacket with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) product to restore its water resistance.
Loss of loft in the down insulation.
Wash and dry the jacket according to the care instructions. Ensure the down is completely dry to restore its loft. If the issue persists, the down may be damaged and professional repair might be needed.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant or a bar of soap. Gently work the zipper up and down to distribute the lubricant.
