What is the environmental benefit of this jacket?

Troubleshooting

Water is not beading on the surface anymore.

The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need to be reapplied. Follow the instructions on a commercial DWR product designed for outdoor apparel.

Jacket feels damp inside, despite being waterproof.

This could be due to insufficient breathability or condensation from body moisture. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath and that the jacket's vents (if any) are open. Proper washing without fabric softener also helps maintain breathability.

Zipper is stiff or difficult to move.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and a little water. Lubricate the zipper track with graphite (from a pencil) or a specialized zipper lubricant.
