How do I maintain the waterproofness of the jacket?
Regularly clean the jacket according to care instructions. If water no longer beads on the surface, reactivate the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish by tumble drying on low heat or using a specialized DWR treatment spray.
Are the seams truly waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Jacket leaks water
Ensure all seams are sealed and intact. Check that the hood, cuffs, and hem are properly adjusted. If the waterproof treatment has worn off, consider washing and tumble drying on low or applying a DWR spray.
Jacket feels clammy or lacks breathability
Open the underarm vents to increase airflow. Wear lighter layers underneath. Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog breathable membranes.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate
Gently try to move the zipper. If still stuck, apply a small amount of graphite (from a pencil lead) or a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth. Avoid forcing the zipper.
Jacket material feels stiff after washing
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat as per care instructions, which can help soften the material.
