I've searched a long time here in the forum, but didn't find any fitting post.

I know some time ago there where a few people which were definitely sure that their event jackets are leaky. Probably caused by the contamination due to oil salt, e.g..

There was also the rumour that there should be a newer version(2008 or 2007) of event which some kind of self-healing properties.

But i can't find a thread thread which confirms any of that.

Maybe you can, or at least know i am talking of :D

thx
Oliver

I'm sorry I can't point you in the right direction, but I will say that I have to reapply DWR after practically every use, but I don't mind that much because it really does breathe a little better than other fabrics.

Nothing on eVENT leaking, but some issue with the oft used waterproof zippers used in eVENT jackets and bivvies.

Note that eVENT has a hydrostatic head of 10,000 mm, almost 10 times that of ..say… silnylon.
