Don't you dare toss that old rain jacket or pair of rain pants into the trash. With a few bucks and a few minutes, you can make them almost as good as new. (From 2021)
If you don't have a washing machine handy, you can apply the product by hand with a sink or bucketful of warm water and some gloves. Some DWR treatments instruct you to follow up by tossing the garments into a dryer set to a low-heat cycle to seal in the coating. Just check instructions on the bottle of the stuff you're using first.Reapplications of DWR don't last as long as the factory-applied treatment.
DWR treatments, for a long time, used long-chain perfluorocarbons that created toxic byproducts during manufacturing and disseminated into the environment as the product wore down. The DWR treatments we recommend—ReviveX, Grangers, and Nikwax—use flourocarbon-free formulas. Though you may balk at the idea of introducing more synthetic chemicals to your gear, these treatments increase the life span of your clothes several times over, creating less waste over time.
The more you use the garment, the more quickly the DWR coating will wear off. But there's no limit to how many times you can reapply DWR. As as long as the clothing is in good shape, you can keep re-waterproofing it over and over for years to come and save yourself from having to replace a several-hundred-dollar rain outfit.
