Troubleshooting

Jacket is leaking water

Check that all seams are properly sealed. Ensure the DWR coating is still effective; if not, clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment. Verify the internal membrane is intact.

Jacket feels clammy or damp inside

This can indicate reduced breathability. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the membrane. Wash with a technical cleaner. If the issue persists, the membrane may be compromised.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or salt. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers. Avoid forcing the zipper.

Hood adjustment is not secure

Check that the drawcords and toggles are functioning correctly and are not damaged. Ensure they are tightened properly to secure the hood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Drykore Jacket MK2 requires no complex setup; it is ready to wear out of the packaging. It is designed for compatibility with standard outdoor apparel, allowing for layering underneath. To maintain its optimal performance and longevity:

  • Washing: Machine wash on a gentle cycle with a specialized technical wash detergent. Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can degrade the waterproof membrane and DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish.
  • Drying: Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang dry away from direct heat sources. Ensure the jacket is completely dry before storing.
  • Re-proofing: Periodically, you may need to reapply a DWR treatment to the jacket's exterior to ensure water beads off the surface. Follow the instructions on the re-proofing product.
