Troubleshooting
Water is soaking through the fabric
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment specifically designed for outdoor apparel.
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure the garment is not too tightly fitted, which can restrict breathability. Also, check that internal layers are not overly insulating, creating excessive perspiration.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant. Avoid using wax-based products, which can attract dirt.
Reduced wind resistance
Check the integrity of the fabric and seams. Ensure cuffs are tightened. Persistent issues may indicate wear and tear on the membrane.
