Troubleshooting

Jacket no longer feels waterproof.

Ensure all seams are properly sealed and that the fabric finish is intact. Re-waterproofing treatments may be necessary after significant wear or washing beyond the certified limits. Check the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish; if water no longer beads on the surface, a reapplication might be needed following manufacturer instructions.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zippers with a soft brush to remove dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oils that can attract dirt.

Inner jacket lining feels clammy.

This can indicate moisture buildup. Ensure the outer shell's breathability is not compromised by dirt or damage. Open vents if available or wear lighter layers underneath. If the issue persists, check for tears or damage to the inner lining.

Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.

Avoid high heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective tape. Small areas of damage may be repairable with fabric glue, but significant peeling may compromise visibility standards.
