Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking or no longer waterproof.

The DWR finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reactivate the DWR by tumble drying on a low heat. If issues persist, consider applying a new DWR treatment.

Jacket feels damp inside, despite no rain.

This could be due to condensation. Ensure underarm vents are open during activity. Check that the jacket is not too tight, allowing for airflow.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to use.

Clean the zippers gently with a soft brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth. Avoid force.

Jacket seam is damaged.

For minor seam damage, a seam sealer can be applied. For significant damage, professional repair may be necessary.
