Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently apply a graphite pencil lead or a small amount of wax (like a candle or lip balm) to the zipper teeth. Avoid using oils or lubricants that could stain the fabric.
Water resistance seems reduced
Ensure the garment is clean and free from dirt or oils. Consider re-applying a water-repellent treatment specifically designed for outerwear, following the product's instructions.
