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.

Care Instructions: To maintain the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties, follow these care guidelines:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle with a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can clog the membrane's pores and reduce breathability.
  2. Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators.
  4. Re-proofing: Periodically, especially after several washes, consider using a re-waterproofing treatment designed for softshell or technical outerwear to restore its protective properties. Follow the product instructions for application.
