Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR coating may have worn off. Clean the jacket thoroughly with a technical wash and re-apply a DWR treatment suitable for technical outdoor fabrics.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to close
Clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a damp cloth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or a beeswax-based zipper wax to the teeth.
Discomfort around the collar
Ensure the neck closure is adjusted correctly and not too tight. If the issue persists, consider wearing a neck gaiter or scarf underneath.
