  • Is the brevet gilet DWR coated? Washed it for the first time last week (liquid soap flakes, nothing harsh) and after 25 minutes of drizzle today the front had wetted through. I note the webpage just says windproof and not shower proof; is it worth spraying with reproofer next time I wash it?

  • DWR can be reactivated by tumble drying (when already dry). It's designed to last and is reasonably tough stuff.

    That is of course if it had DWR to start...
