Rapha, nice but a bit pricey?

do you have to reproof the gabba?
I have the capo ripoff (the lombardia) and it's waterproofing wore off after about 4/5 washes. still warm when wet regardless but will probably look into reproofing soon

It's made of Windstopper® x-lite plus so I'd have a look at what WindStopper have to say about it.
