Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer repelling water effectively.

The water-resistant coating may have degraded. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment for outdoor apparel. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to close.

Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently clean the zipper with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax stick to the teeth for smoother operation.

Seams appear to be leaking water.

Ensure all seams are properly taped. If there is visible damage to the seam tape, contact customer support. For minor issues, a seam sealer might be applicable, but professional repair is recommended.

Inner lining is damaged.

Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with fabric glue or a patch. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement might be necessary.
