Re-applying DWR

Hi all,

I have an ageing, but still going strong Wilderness Wear waterproof jacket that has lost it's DWR ability. I have applied a number of DWR treatments over the years, all wash in, and I have not been entirely happy with the results. I am going to try a spray on DWR treatment as a bit of research suggests this may be superior. I was hoping to probe the collective knowledge of the group as to;

1. What treatments have you used and been HAPPY with the result?
2. How long has the re-application lasted?
3. Are they wash in, or spray on?
4. Any other sage comments....?

Thanks,

Peter

Nikwax rinse, directions on the bottle, used a small bucket rather than the washing machine.
About as difficult as putting laundry in a top loader. Lasts as long as it says in the trade literature.
