Hi there. After a PCT thru-hike, I think it’s time to restore the waterproofing on my Marmot Precip. I’ve looked around online for tips, but thought I’d ask the smartest people out there (that means you).
How should I go about restoring the Precip waterproofing? I don’t have time before my next hike to send away for special products, so standard stuff or available at REI would be best.
Thanks!
From the Marmat web site:
My gear has lost some of its water repellency – What can I do?
Clean the garment. We suggest using Granger’s G-Wash Cleaner Plus.
To restore the water repellency in your gear we recommend using Granger’s Waterproofing for Synthetic Fabrics – either wash-in or spray-on versions. (You can find it in most sports specialty stores) Use the wash-in method for shell garments and follow the label directions. Be sure to use luke warm water to wash and rinse, place the garment in a drier for 45 minutes at medium heat to heat-set the fininsh and remove it promptly. For soft-shell garments, Granger’s offers Soft Shell Proof to restore water-repellency.
