Troubleshooting
Jacket feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and not over-drying. Tumble drying on a low setting with a dryer ball can help soften the fabric. Avoid using fabric softeners, which can degrade polyester over time.
Zipper is sticking
Check for any fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently try to free any obstruction. You can apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth to help it slide smoothly.
Jacket is not providing enough warmth
The polyester jacket is designed to be lightweight. For colder conditions, consider layering additional warm clothing underneath, such as a fleece or insulated vest.
