Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric instead of beading off.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may be worn out. Tumble drying on low heat for 10-20 minutes can sometimes reactivate the finish, or you may need to apply a technical fabric re-proofer.
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to operate.
Check for debris or dirt in the zipper track. Clean it gently with a soft brush, and if the issue persists, apply a small amount of non-staining lubricant specifically designed for technical zippers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maintain the water-repellent properties of the Omni-Shield finish, wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can break down the waterproof treatment over time. When drying, tumble dry on low heat to refresh the finish. Ensure all zippers are closed before washing to prevent damage to the fabric. This jacket is compatible with standard layering systems; its size fits comfortably over light to medium-weight base layers, so choose your standard size for the best fit.
