Troubleshooting
Water soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR coating may have worn off. Wash the jacket to remove dirt and apply a technical garment DWR re-waterproofing spray.
Zipper feels stiff or sticks
Clear any debris or sand from the zipper teeth and ensure the fabric is not caught in the track. You can lubricate the teeth with a small amount of graphite from a pencil tip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because this is a shell layer, it is best utilized in a layering system. In milder weather, it serves as a top layer over a T-shirt; in cooler conditions, pair it with a fleece or light insulating mid-layer. To maintain the waterproof efficacy, follow these care instructions: machine wash on a cold, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can degrade the DWR (durable water repellent) coating. Tumble dry on low heat or hang dry. Periodic re-treatment with a DWR spray can help maintain the exterior beading properties over long-term use.
