Troubleshooting

Water is penetrating the pants.

Check if the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish needs to be reapplied. Also, ensure all zippers are fully closed and there are no tears or damage to the fabric.

Pants feel too cold.

Layer up with thermal underwear or additional insulating layers. Check the insulation level of your pants to determine if it is appropriate for the current conditions.

Zippers are sticking or difficult to use.

Clean the zippers with a soft brush and warm water. Apply a zipper lubricant to ease operation. Avoid forcing the zippers.
