How do I clean the jacket?
The jacket can be machine washed at 30°C with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on a low heat or hang to dry. Avoid bleach, ironing, and fabric softeners.
Can I wear this jacket if I'm allergic to polyester?
The jacket is primarily made from Polyester (62%) and Recycled Polyester (38%). If you have a known allergy to polyester, this jacket may not be suitable for you.
How do I adjust the fit of the jacket?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer shedding water effectively.
The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may have worn off. Clean the jacket and reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Water is leaking through the seams.
Ensure all seams are properly sealed. If leakage persists, contact customer support as this may indicate a manufacturing defect.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a damp cloth and a small brush. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a pencil graphite to the teeth to help it glide smoothly.
Jacket feels clammy inside, even when not raining heavily.
This could be due to insufficient ventilation or perspiration build-up. Ensure the hood and cuffs are not overly tightened and consider wearing moisture-wicking base layers.
