How should I clean the jacket to maintain its water resistance?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer water-repellent
The water-repellent coating may have worn off over time. Re-apply a suitable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment following the product's instructions. Ensure the jacket is clean before applying.
Seams appear to be leaking
Check if the seams are properly sealed. Minor leaks might be addressable with seam sealant tape designed for outdoor gear. Ensure the jacket is not damaged.
Zipper is stiff or difficult to use
Clean the zipper area with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris. Lubricate the zipper with a graphite pencil or a specialized zipper lubricant.
Jacket feels clammy or less breathable
This can occur in humid conditions. Ensure you are wearing breathable layers underneath. Allow ventilation by partially unzipping the jacket. Regular cleaning can help maintain fabric performance.
