Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer water-repellent
Re-impregnate the jacket after washing following the product instructions for waxed garments. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying the waterproofing treatment.
Hood is not fitting securely
Adjust the drawstring at the back of the hood for a tighter, more secure fit. Ensure the hood is correctly positioned.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper. Gently try to move the slider. If needed, apply a small amount of wax or silicone lubricant to the zipper teeth.

Ensure the back yoke mesh ventilation is clear of obstructions. Consider washing the garment according to care instructions if performance has degraded.
