Troubleshooting
Water begins to soak into the outer fabric
The water-repellent finish (DWR) may have worn off. Wash the jacket and re-apply a DWR spray, then tumble dry on low to reactivate the coating.
Two-way zipper feels stiff or sticks
Clean the zipper tracks of any debris or salt buildup and apply a dedicated zipper lubricant or a tiny amount of wax to smooth the movement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this jacket uses a PFC-free water-repellent finish, it is important to follow proper maintenance to retain its functionality. Wash the garment in a gentle cycle with mild detergent, avoiding fabric softeners which can clog the breathable pores of the fabric. Always zip all closures before washing to prevent snagging. To reactivate the water-repellent finish, tumble dry on low heat or follow the manufacturer's specific care instructions provided on the internal tag. Store the jacket in a cool, dry place on a wide hanger to maintain the shape of the insulation.
