Troubleshooting

Jacket not fully water-repellent after washing

Ensure the garment was tumble dried on low heat to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. Avoid fabric softener, as it can impede water repellency. Consider a re-waterproofing treatment if performance does not improve.

Hood adjustment is difficult

Check that the drawcords are not tangled or frozen. Ensure the hood is properly positioned before attempting adjustments. Refer to the specific adjustment points on the hood for vertical and horizontal control.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zipper track is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Reflective stripes appear dull

Reflective stripes can degrade over time with excessive washing or abrasion. Ensure washing instructions are followed precisely. If significantly degraded, consider professional advice on repair or replacement.
