Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the fabric instead of beading up
The DWR finish has likely worn off; wash the garment and tumble dry on low to reactivate, or apply a fresh DWR spray treatment.
Zipper feels stiff or catches
Clear any debris or grit from the zipper teeth using a soft brush, and ensure the internal storm flap is not interfering with the slider.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Torrentshell remains effective, seal out elements by adjusting the hook-and-loop cuff closures and the drawcord hem to your preferred fit. For maintenance, wash the jacket in cold water on a gentle cycle using a technical outerwear detergent to avoid stripping the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating. Tumble dry on low heat to reactivate the waterproof performance. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the specialized membrane. Regularly inspect the zippers and keep them free of grit to ensure smooth operation.
