Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer fully waterproof
Ensure the jacket is clean and free from dirt. Re-proof the jacket using a suitable water-repellent spray or wash-in treatment after washing, following the product's instructions. Check that all seams are intact.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper teeth gently with a brush and water. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil to the zipper teeth to improve smoothness. Avoid forcing the zipper.
