Water is penetrating the jacket.
Check all zippers and closures to make sure they are fully sealed. Ensure the jacket is not damaged. If water continues to penetrate, the jacket may need to be re-treated with a waterproof coating. Check for seam failure. If the seams have failed, the jacket may need to be professionally repaired.
The thermal liner is not providing enough warmth.
Ensure that the liner is correctly attached. Consider adding layers of clothing underneath the jacket for additional warmth. Check the thermal liner for damage or wear.
Difficulty zipping or unzipping the jacket.
Lubricate the zippers with zipper lubricant. Check for obstructions in the zipper tracks. Inspect the zipper for damage. If the zipper is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
