Zipper is stiff or catching

Ensure there is no fabric caught in the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. A small amount of graphite from a pencil applied to the teeth can help lubricate it.

Jacket feels less wind-resistant over time

Check that the jacket is clean. Dirt and oils can sometimes impede fabric performance. Follow the care instructions for washing.
