Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside during heavy rain.
The jacket is water-repellent, not waterproof. For prolonged heavy rain, consider a waterproof outer layer. Ensure zippers are fully closed.
Reduced water repellency after washing.
Reapply a water-repellent finish suitable for technical fabrics. Follow the product instructions carefully.

Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Gently work the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite pencil lead or wax can help lubricate the teeth.
