Troubleshooting

Jacket loses water-repellency

Wash the jacket according to care instructions with a small amount of liquid detergent (no fabric softener). After washing and drying, apply a suitable water-repellent re-treatment spray or wash.

Insulation feels flat or less warm

Tumble dry the jacket on a low heat setting with a few clean tennis balls. This helps to break up any clumps and restore the insulation's loft and warmth.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
