Troubleshooting

Jacket is no longer fully waterproof

Ensure the jacket has been washed correctly without fabric softener or harsh detergents. Re-apply a suitable waterproofing treatment designed for technical outerwear.

Reduced breathability, feeling clammy inside

The jacket may be blocked by dirt or residue. Wash it according to care instructions. Ensure the membrane is not compromised by improper washing.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to use

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a soft brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the teeth to improve glide.

Velcro cuffs are losing grip

Clean the Velcro surfaces by brushing away any lint or debris. For persistent issues, try a Velcro cleaner or replace the Velcro if possible.
