Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is active. Wash the jacket with a specific technical wash and reapply a DWR treatment according to product instructions.
Hood is not fitting securely
Adjust the drawcords on the hood for a tighter fit. Ensure all toggles are secured.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush and apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels clammy inside
