Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof
This is likely due to internal moisture vapor from perspiration. Ensure the jacket is zipped up properly and that ventilation (if available) is utilized. If the issue persists, the fabric's breathability may be compromised; check care instructions and ensure no residues are blocking pores.
Water seems to be penetrating seams
While OutDry™ EXTREME is designed for full waterproofing, check that the external seam tape is intact. If damage is visible, professional repair may be needed. Ensure all zippers and closures are fully sealed.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a wax-based lubricant or a specialized zipper lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
