The wired peak is an integral part of the hood and should be cleaned gently with the rest of the jacket during washing. Avoid trying to bend or reshape the wire excessively after washing.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish can wear off over time. You can reactivate it by tumble drying on low heat. If that doesn't restore performance, consider applying a new DWR treatment specifically designed for technical outdoor apparel.
The Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish may need reactivating. Tumble dry on a low heat setting for 20 minutes. If ineffective, reapply a DWR treatment.

Gently clean the zipper teeth with a soft brush and water. Lubricate with a silicone-based zipper lubricant or a wax-based product like beeswax. Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper.
