Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking water.
Ensure all seams are properly taped and intact. Check that the zippers are fully closed. Reapply a water-repellent treatment if the fabric's finish has worn off.
Reduced breathability or feeling clammy.
Ensure the vented back yoke and eyelets are not obstructed. Wear moisture-wicking layers underneath. Open zippers slightly for increased ventilation when needed.
Hood is difficult to pack away.
Ensure the hood is completely dry and then carefully fold it into its designated compartment, usually located in the collar.
Fabric feels stiff or less flexible.
This can occur with prolonged exposure to elements or improper care. Follow the recommended washing and drying instructions. Avoid harsh detergents.
