Troubleshooting

Jacket leaks water

Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If the issue persists, the DWR coating may need to be reapplied. Clean the jacket according to care instructions.

Jacket feels clammy inside

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Check that vents (if any) are open. Consider washing with a technical cleaner.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to improve glide.

Velcro cuffs are losing their grip

Clean the Velcro hooks and loops with a stiff brush to remove lint and debris. Sometimes, washing the garment can help restore adhesion.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The Korda Drykore MK2 Jacket requires no setup; it is ready to wear out of the package. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: This jacket is designed as versatile outerwear. It can be layered over base layers, fleeces, or other mid-layers for added warmth in colder conditions. It is compatible with a wide range of outdoor activities.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties:

  1. Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C (86°F) with a technical wash solution specifically designed for waterproof and breathable fabrics. Avoid using standard detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the fabric's membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20-30 minutes to help reactivate the DWR treatment. Alternatively, hang dry away from direct heat sources.
  4. Re-proofing: If water no longer beads on the surface, reapply a DWR treatment following the product manufacturer's instructions. This is typically done after washing and drying.
  5. Storage: Store the jacket in a clean, dry place, preferably uncompressed, to preserve its materials and waterproofing.
