Full details

Troubleshooting
Water seeping through the jacket
Ensure the GORE-TEX liner is properly installed and all zippers are fully closed. Check for any tears or damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. Re-apply DWR treatment if necessary.
Overheating in warm weather
Ensure all ventilation zippers (arms, back, front) are fully open. Remove the thermal liner and consider removing the GORE-TEX liner if not needed for rain protection.
Jacket feels too bulky
Remove the thermal liner and/or the GORE-TEX liner if the weather permits. Ensure you have the correct size jacket for your body type.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate
Clean the zippers with water and a soft brush. Apply a zipper lubricant or wax. Avoid forcing the zipper.
