Troubleshooting
Zipper is difficult to move
Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to realign the zipper and use a graphite pencil or wax to lubricate the teeth if needed.
Down feathers are escaping
A small amount of feather loss is normal, especially when new. Gently pull any protruding feathers back into the fabric from the inside. If significant leakage occurs, contact customer support.
Water-repellent finish seems reduced
The water-repellent finish can diminish over time. Professional dry cleaning can help restore these properties. Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents.
