Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
The durable water-repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket according to care instructions and then apply a new DWR treatment spray or wash-in product, following the product's specific guidelines. Ensure all seams are intact.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil (rubbing the lead on the teeth) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels damp inside despite no rain
This can be due to a loss of breathability or insufficient ventilation. Ensure the jacket is clean and that the DWR finish is effective. If worn over many layers, consider adjusting layers for better airflow.
