Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The water-repellent finish may have degraded over time. Consider using a specific re-waterproofing spray suitable for polyester outerwear. Ensure no fabric softeners were used during washing, as this can impair water repellency.
Zipper is stiff or stuck
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead, lip balm, or a specialized zipper lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper, which could cause damage.
Jacket feels too light for cold weather
This jacket is designed for mild conditions or as a layer. For colder weather, consider wearing a warmer base layer or adding a thicker mid-layer underneath, or using this jacket as an outer shell over a warmer jacket.
