Troubleshooting
Jacket feels clammy inside
Ensure the back ventilation panel is open and consider if the external temperature is causing condensation. The fabric is breathable, but very high humidity or intense activity can still lead to moisture buildup.
Zipper is difficult to use
Check for fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently pull the fabric away. You can also use a graphite pencil or a small amount of wax on the zipper teeth to improve glide.
Fit feels too loose
The jacket is designed with a relaxed fit. For a tighter feel, consider wearing thicker layers underneath or adjusting the cuffs. If the fit is significantly off, double-check the size chart.
