The elastic straps are made of 80% elastane and 20% polyester.
Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any caught fabric. You can also try applying a small amount of graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth for smoother operation.
Water is seeping through the fabric
Check the care instructions; ensure the garment has been washed correctly and has not been exposed to fabric softeners or high heat. The waterproof coating may also be degrading over time; consider a re-waterproofing treatment designed for technical apparel.
Jacket feels stiff after washing
This can happen if the garment was washed too hot or dried improperly. Ensure you are washing at 30°C and air drying. Avoid ironing. The stiffness may be permanent if damaged by heat.
Seams appear to be leaking
Inspect the seams for any damage. If minor, a seam sealant product for outdoor gear might help. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.
