What is the purpose of the No Slip Zip™?

Is the jacket waterproof?

Troubleshooting
Down feathers are clumping together.
Tumble dry the jacket on low heat with clean tennis balls to redistribute the down fill and restore loft.
The jacket isn't as warm as it used to be.
Ensure the jacket is clean, as dirt and oil can reduce the down's insulating properties. Consider a professional down cleaning service if necessary.
The No Slip Zip™ is not functioning correctly.
Check for any obstructions or debris in the zipper mechanism. Lubricate the zipper with a specialized zipper lubricant if needed.
