Check all seals (neck, wrists, and zipper) for damage or improper closure. Ensure the zipper is completely closed. If the seals are damaged, replace them.
Reduced Warmth
Make sure you are wearing the appropriate base layers for the conditions. Check for any damage to the fleece lining.
Difficult Entry
Ensure you are using a lubricant such as talcum powder to assist with the entry.
