Troubleshooting
Jacket is not fully waterproof.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and that the PU coating is intact. Check that zippers are fully closed. Consider re-waterproofing if the fabric treatment has worn off significantly.
Reflective tape is peeling or damaged.
Avoid high heat drying and harsh detergents. If minor peeling occurs, a professional seamstress might be able to reapply or reinforce the tape. Replace the jacket if significant damage compromises visibility standards.
Zipper is difficult to move.
Clean the zipper teeth with a brush. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper track. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Inner fleece is shedding excessively.
Wash the inner fleece separately on a gentle cycle for the first few washes. Use a lint roller to remove loose fibers.
