Troubleshooting
Water repellency seems reduced.
The water-repellent finish can wear off over time. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment according to the product's instructions to restore protection.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a small amount of mild soap or a specialized zipper lubricant. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Fabric feels less breathable after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can clog the fabric's pores and reduce breathability. Rinse thoroughly.
