eVENT DWR

[Kickinghorse]

Can anyone recommend a DWR treatment for eVENT. My hard shell (One Planet) jacket is showing symptoms of “wetting out” and needs reproofing.
Am aware of various applications eg wax based and fluorocarbon (C6) etc but not sure which would be the most suitable for this material.

What does One Planet say to do? They may even do it for you.

Isn't eVENt the waterproof liner and the outer is treated with DWR?

If so, Grangers is the best I know of but from experience, once the outer starts to wet out, it's already too late to bring back to new.

Still, treating with DWR will help with evaporation once it stops raining.

TDLR I've been walking in the rain with an umbrella for the last week+ and my top has ended up moist because when it's 100% humidity, there is 0% evaporation. Just something to think about when walking in the rain, don't expect wet weather gear to work miracles.

Crolly with regard to your comments and limitations as concerns rain jackets in general, will give Grangers a go.

For others....
initially just wash the garment and tumble dry on medium. If it was a heat-set DWR, that may reactivate it.
