Anybody ever use that stuff you wash your raingear with that brings back the repellent. Have an old set of Fenwick raingear I thought I would try it on.

I tried some Nikwax spray for breathable. It kinda worked but not anywhere close to the coating on a new jacket.

All the soap needs to be rinsed off well or it will transport moisture through the “holes” in the gore-tex. My oldest jacket had taped seams and the tape came loose so I sprayed the seams on the inside and the outside of the garment with the same waterproofing spray I used to use when I had a tent. The spray may leave a discolored area but that beats getting wet.
