Troubleshooting
Water appears to be soaking through the outer fabric
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating may have worn off; apply a waterproof spray treatment to the exterior.
Jacket feels damp inside
This is often caused by trapped body moisture; ensure you are not wearing too many layers underneath that restrict airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This jacket is a straightforward pull-over or zip-up design that requires no assembly. To ensure the longevity of the waterproof coating, avoid using fabric softeners or harsh detergents during washing. It is recommended to hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water. Always air dry the jacket away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent damaging the material. To maintain the waterproof effectiveness over time, consider using a technical garment wash designed for synthetic, water-resistant fabrics.
