How should I clean the jacket to maintain its performance?

Does the jacket have any internal pockets?

Troubleshooting

Jacket leaks water

Ensure all zips are fully closed and cuffs are tightened. Check for damage to the fabric or seams. Re-apply water-repellent treatment if the finish has worn off.

Jacket feels clammy inside

Open the underarm pit zips for increased ventilation. Ensure you are wearing appropriate breathable layers underneath. The MVP rating indicates breathability, but high exertion can still lead to internal moisture buildup.

Zips are stiff or difficult to move

Ensure the zip area is clean and free of debris. Gently clean the zip teeth with a soft brush. Avoid forcing the zip; use a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Reflective print is peeling

Avoid excessive heat during washing and drying. Do not iron directly on the reflective print. If peeling is significant, contact customer support.
