Troubleshooting
The jacket is not as waterproof as expected.
Ensure all seams are intact. Check the jacket's waterproof performance by testing it under running water or light rain. If water is penetrating, re-apply a waterproof treatment.
The jacket feels clammy or uncomfortable.
Ensure the jacket is breathable. Avoid wearing too many layers underneath, as this can reduce breathability. Consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers to manage perspiration.
