Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof.
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and re-apply a suitable DWR spray or wash-in treatment following the product's instructions.
Zips are stiff or difficult to use.
Clean the zips with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or wax to the zip teeth to improve movement. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zip.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the membrane pores. Wash the jacket according to care instructions. Check that internal pockets are not blocking ventilation.
Seams appear to be leaking.
Verify that the taped seams are intact. If damage is suspected, contact customer support. Ensure the garment is properly maintained and cleaned to preserve seam integrity.
