Bear in mind that in the design they have sacrificed the more common flap over the zip with press studs option to keep it as lightweight as possible. It's a lightweight windproof which is showerproof not waterproof and is designed for maximum breathability.
It may help if you can slacken off the drawcords at the hem slightly and keep your hands out of the handwarming pockets as much as possible to keep any pressure pulling the bottom of the zip apart to a minimum.
Another more obvious solution is to eat less pies.
