How do I clean the jacket to maintain its waterproofness?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating is intact. If it has worn off, consider a re-waterproofing treatment suitable for technical outerwear. Clean the jacket according to care instructions before treatment.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush to remove any dirt or debris. Apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil tip) or a specialized zipper lubricant to the teeth.
Jacket feels damp inside despite being waterproof
This could be due to condensation caused by high activity levels. Ensure the garment is clean, as dirt can clog the breathable membrane. Check that the cuffs and hem are sealed effectively.
