Troubleshooting
Water leaking through the jacket
Ensure the GORE-TEX liner is properly installed and zipped. Check the DWR coating on the outer shell and reapply if necessary. Inspect seams for damage.
Overheating during rides
Open the VCS ventilation zippers on the jacket. Remove the thermal liner if not needed. Ensure the waterproof liner is detached if it's not actively raining.
Liners are difficult to install or remove
Ensure you are aligning the zippers and snaps correctly. Try working with the jacket laid flat. Avoid forcing the components, as this can cause damage.
Jacket feels too tight or restrictive
Check that all internal liners are correctly installed and not bunched up. Ensure you have selected the correct size based on measurements. Consider removing the thermal liner for a less bulky fit.
