Troubleshooting
Water not beading off effectively
The Texpel Splash Eco finish may be compromised by heavy soiling or detergent residue. Clean the jacket according to care instructions. For persistent issues, consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for nylon fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Ensure the fabric around the zipper is clear of obstructions. Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax specifically designed for zippers.
Jacket feels less warm than expected
Confirm that the hood and hem drawcords are tightened to prevent heat loss. Ensure the jacket is properly layered over insulating clothing if extreme cold conditions are present. Check for any tears or damage to the lining.
