Troubleshooting
Cagoule not repelling water effectively
The PU coating may have worn down. Consider applying a re-waterproofing spray suitable for PU-coated nylon, following the manufacturer's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper area with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth.
Elasticated cuffs feel too tight or too loose
The elastic is designed for a snug fit. If too tight, try gently stretching the cuff fabric. If too loose, it may indicate wear; consider replacing the garment if performance is significantly impacted.
Hood drawcord is not tightening properly
Ensure the cord lock mechanism is clean and free of debris. Check that the cord itself is not frayed or damaged.
