Troubleshooting
Water is soaking into the fabric surface.
The DWR finish has likely worn off. Re-apply a technical wash-in or spray-on water repellent treatment after cleaning.
Zipper is sticking or difficult to close.
Check for fabric stuck in the zipper track. Ensure the jacket is clean, as grit or dirt can often obstruct the zip mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the jacket, always zip up the main and pocket zippers before washing to protect the teeth and fabric. Machine wash the garment on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent, ideally using a specialized cleaner for technical waterproof gear. Avoid using fabric softeners, as these can strip away the breathable water-repellent coating. Hang the jacket to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can damage the nylon fabric and taped seams. If the water stops beading on the surface over time, you may apply a spray-on DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment to restore its performance.
