Troubleshooting

Jacket feels damp inside

Ensure the jacket is properly zipped and cuffs are sealed. Check if the internal membrane is intact. If it's due to sweat, consider wearing lighter layers underneath or opening the jacket slightly for ventilation. If water is penetrating, the DWR coating may need reapplication.

Water beading poorly on the outer fabric

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment according to the product's instructions.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move

Clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and allow to dry. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth to improve glide.

Jacket seams appear to be leaking

Ensure all seams are properly taped. If a seam appears damaged, it may require professional repair. Minor leaks at seams might indicate the DWR needs reapplication.
