Troubleshooting
Jacket is not as waterproof as expected.
Ensure all zippers are fully closed and the powder skirt is properly secured. Check if the DWR coating needs reapplication. Follow care instructions to avoid damaging the waterproof membrane.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive.
Verify that you have selected the correct size. Consider layering with thinner base layers instead of bulky ones. This jacket features a slimmer fit, so ensure it aligns with your desired comfort level.
Zipper is difficult to use.
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. If the issue persists, lubrication with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant might help.
Jacket lining feels uncomfortable.
Ensure you are wearing appropriate underlayers. The brushed tricot lining is designed for comfort, but an ill-fitting base layer can affect the overall feel.
