Troubleshooting
Jacket is leaking or no longer shedding water.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and apply a new DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a toothbrush and mild soap. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or graphite from a pencil to the zipper teeth.
Jacket feels clammy or not breathable.
Ensure underarm vents are open and that the inner lining is not saturated with sweat. Check for any blockages in the venting zippers. Wash the jacket to remove any accumulated body oils or dirt that might impede breathability.
