Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and mild soap. Lubricate with a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil.
Jacket feels clammy inside.
Ensure all vents (back vents, underarm eyelets) are open. Check that you are not wearing excessively insulating layers underneath that could trap moisture.
Elasticated cuffs are losing their stretch.
This is normal wear and tear over time. For minor loss of stretch, ensure they are not over-stretched during storage. There is no user-serviceable repair for this.
