Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Ensure the zipper area is free of debris. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a mild detergent. Apply a silicone-based lubricant designed for zippers if necessary.
Suit feels damp inside despite being waterproof.
This may be due to internal condensation from heavy exertion. Ensure underarm zippers are open for ventilation. Check that all closures (cuffs, hood, zippers) are properly sealed when needed.
Reinforcement fabric (Cordura®) shows signs of wear.
Clean the area gently. For minor fraying, consider a fabric repair patch. Ensure knee pads are correctly installed in the pockets if used, as this adds a layer of protection.
Outer fabric is not repelling water effectively.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a suitable DWR treatment after washing, following the product's instructions. Note that washing can degrade the DWR over time.
