Are the reflective details durable?

Troubleshooting
Jacket is no longer waterproof
Ensure the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish is intact. Reapply a DWR treatment if necessary. Clean the jacket according to care instructions, as dirt and oils can impede water repellency.
Zipper is sticking
Gently try to move the zipper up and down. If it continues to stick, use a pencil graphite or a small amount of wax along the zipper teeth. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper.
Seams are leaking
Verify that all seams are fully sealed. If there appears to be a defect, contact customer support. Ensure the jacket is cleaned and maintained properly to preserve seam integrity.
