Exactly. If it's like normal DWR and you can't retreat it then... not so good. I've got a hydrophobic down jacket, I'm tempted to soak it and try this hydro stuff out for myself. Except I'm trying to sell it.

Well my experience suggests my synthetics lose about 30% of their warmth when wet but I think I'm somehow in the minority.
