How do I maintain the jacket's water repellency?

Troubleshooting
Jacket not repelling water effectively
The DWR finish may have worn off. Wash the jacket and then reapply a DWR treatment according to the product's instructions.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and residue can impede breathability. Wash thoroughly with a liquid detergent. Check that zippers are open slightly if you need more ventilation.
Zipper is difficult to operate
Gently try to move the zipper. If it snags, check for fabric caught in the teeth. You can try lubricating the zipper track with graphite from a pencil tip.
Hood fit is not secure
Adjust the drawcord at the hem to tighten the jacket and ensure a snugger fit around the hood and upper body. Ensure the helmet is properly seated.
