Water repellent refresh?
Standing outside in my Burton jacket today, smoking in the rain.
Noticed that it really isn't repelling water at ALL anymore, as when I was done, the inside of the jacket was slightly moist. :/ Does anyone have any product recommendations for refreshing the water repellent for snowboarding coats? |

In general, I used NikWax to clean and waterproof my gear. I tried Granger last season and it worked a tiny bit better (lasted a bit longer), but either product is going to make a huge difference on your gear in terms of water repellancy. The direct wash-in variants are easier to use, but the spray on works better if you are willing to spend the extra time and care to spray down "problem" areas. |

In general, I used NikWax to clean and waterproof my gear. Another thought - DWR (durable water repellant) coatings perform much better when clean. I believe that link I sent had washing instructions in it. Neil |

I believe that link I sent had washing instructions in it From his post, it looks like nicotine was more interested in specific products recommendations. So I compared the two different brands I've used before - the old gold-standard (be around for years) Nikwax (TechWash and Direct) and the newer Granger (G-Wash Cleaner and Granger's Wash-in) and also mentioning my experiences in the differences between Wash-In vs Spray-On Waterproofing. Your link, while informative, is still basically a rehash of information already included with any of the products and doesn't compare the effectiveness of any particular product. |
