Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure all care instructions have been followed, especially regarding fabric softeners. Re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish if necessary, following the product's specific instructions. Check seams and zippers for damage.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
Clean the jacket thoroughly using a technical wash to remove any residue from detergents or body oils that might be blocking the membrane. Ensure the vents, if any, are open.
