Why does my rain jacket feel clammy inside when it isn't leaking?

Because the outer fabric is absorbing water. When a shell wets out it can lose up to 70% of its breathability, so your sweat has nowhere to go. Restoring the water repellency is what fixes the clammy feeling, not a new jacket.

How do I apply this treatment?

Lay the clean, wet garment flat with zippers closed, spray evenly from about six inches away, wait a few minutes, then wipe off any excess with a damp cloth. Hang dry — no tumble drying needed.
