How do I clean the jacket?
Machine wash cold with like colors using a mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang to dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners.
Can I reapply the waterproofing?

What does '2.5L' in Dryvent 2.5L refer to?
The '2.5L' refers to the construction of the Dryvent fabric. It uses a two-layer waterproof membrane with a half-layer protective print on the inside, offering a balance of protection, breathability, and lightweight comfort.
Does this jacket have a hood?

Troubleshooting
Water is leaking through the jacket.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed. The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may need to be reapplied. Check for any damage to the fabric or seams.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
This can occur if the outer fabric is saturated or heavily soiled, reducing breathability. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Ensure the DWR is active.
Zipper is difficult to operate.
Gently try to move the zipper. Apply a small amount of wax (like a candle or beeswax) to the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
