Troubleshooting
Jacket feels damp inside
Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and the hood/cuffs are secured. If persistent, check if the garment requires re-proofing or if breathability is compromised. Wash with a technical cleaner and consider a re-waterproofing treatment.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth. Apply a small amount of wax (e.g., beeswax or paraffin wax) or a silicone-based lubricant to the teeth.
Water is soaking through the fabric
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and apply a suitable DWR re-proofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Jacket appears dirty
Wipe down with a damp cloth for minor marks. For more significant dirt, follow the machine washing instructions outlined in the care section.
