After ten minutes in the shower, it appears that the DWR right on the zipper isn't quite as good as the stuff next to it.

Experienced this, too... also, the DWR on the shoulders is already wearing off after two trips in the rain. Nowhere else on the jacket, just the shoulders. Gonna take it back in person (one of the benefits of living in SLC) and see what they say.

I agree as well, at least with the women's version... I haven't noticed it with the men's, but the GF's it almost seems like the DWR coating was missed completely in a bunch of areas...
