Troubleshooting
Jacket feels too warm
Ensure the removable waterproof liner is taken out. Open all vents if applicable and adjust fit to allow for maximum airflow.
Water seeping through in rain
Check that the waterproof liner is correctly installed and zipped. Reapply a water-resistant treatment to the outer shell. For heavy rain, consider additional waterproof gear.
Protectors feel uncomfortable or shift
Adjust the fit using the waist, arm, and cuff adjusters. Ensure protectors are correctly seated within their pockets and the jacket is zipped snugly.
