FAQs

What is GORE-TEX®?

GORE-TEX® is a waterproof, windproof, and breathable fabric that protects against the elements while allowing moisture vapor from sweat to escape.

How do I clean the jacket?

Machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.

Can I use regular detergent?

It is recommended to use a mild detergent without additives to preserve the jacket's waterproof and breathable properties.

How do I re-waterproof the jacket?

Use a DWR spray designed for GORE-TEX® fabrics. Follow the product's instructions for application.

What if the zipper gets stuck?

Try lubricating the zipper with a zipper lubricant or a bar of soap. Gently work the zipper back and forth to loosen it.

What is the retractor docking station?

It's a small attachment in the chest pocket that allows you to secure tools, such as nippers and forceps, so they're easily accessible.

What is the warranty on the jacket?

Simms offers a limited warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Please check the Simms website for the specific details of their warranty policy.

Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the jacket.

Check for wear and tear on the fabric. If there are any punctures or damage, the jacket may need to be repaired or replaced. If not, reapply DWR treatment.

Hood adjustment is not working properly.

Check the adjustment cords for any tangles or obstructions. Ensure the cord locks are functioning correctly.

Zippers are difficult to operate.

Clean the zippers with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a zipper lubricant if necessary.

Care Instructions

To maintain the jacket's performance:

Washing: Machine wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid detergents with additives, such as bleach or fabric softener.
Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry. If tumble drying, use the low setting to avoid damaging the GORE-TEX® fabric.
Re-Waterproofing: If the jacket starts to lose its water-repellency, you can re-waterproof it with a durable water repellent (DWR) spray specifically designed for GORE-TEX® fabrics. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for application.
