Troubleshooting
Zipper is stiff or difficult to move
Gently try to work the zipper back and forth. Apply a small amount of graphite pencil lead or a tiny bit of wax (like from a candle) to the zipper teeth.
Water repellency seems reduced
Reapply a water-repellent treatment suitable for outdoor apparel after washing. Avoid using fabric softeners, as they can affect the finish.
Shorts feel tight or restrictive
