Wash the jacket with a technical garment cleaner to remove dirt and oils that may be blocking the pores of the GORE-TEX membrane. Ensure pit zips are open when needed.

Zippers are sticking.

Lubricate the zippers with a zipper lubricant or a silicone-based spray. Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper tracks.
