How should I maintain the waterproofness?

Troubleshooting
Water seeping through the fabric.
The DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish may have worn off. Clean the overtrousers and re-apply a waterproofing treatment according to product instructions.
Reduced breathability.
Ensure the fabric is clean. Dirt and oils can clog the pores. Wash according to care instructions. Check if the breathable membrane is damaged.
Difficulty with snap closures.
Ensure the leg openings are aligned correctly before attempting to snap them. If a snap is stiff, gently work it back and forth. Clean around the snap mechanism if debris is present.
