Troubleshooting
Jacket or trousers not fully waterproof.
Ensure all seams are intact and taped correctly. Reapply a waterproofing treatment to the fabric if performance has diminished after multiple washes. Check that all closures (zippers, cuffs) are fully secured.
Jacket or trousers feel damp inside.
This may be due to perspiration. Ensure the adjustable vents are open if applicable, and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers. Check that the garment is not overly tight, which can restrict airflow.
Fit is uncomfortable or elements are getting in.
Adjust the hood, waist, cuffs, and ankles using the provided adjustment points for a secure seal. Ensure you are wearing appropriate underlayers for the temperature.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Lubricate with a graphite pencil or a silicone-based lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper.
