What is the warranty on this jacket?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Reapply a DWR treatment designed for waterproof-outdoor gear according to product instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before application.
Zipper is difficult to move
Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. If needed, apply a small amount of wax (like beeswax or a zipper lubricant) to the teeth to improve function.
Seams appear to be leaking
Check if the seam tape is intact. Minor leaks might be addressed with seam sealer, but significant damage may indicate the need for repair or replacement.
Jacket feels less breathable
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oils can clog the pores of the fabric. Wash following care instructions. Avoid using fabric softener, which can impede breathability.
