(Tried this under “Chaff”, but got no response, so am moving it here)
DWR seems really important to any waterproof / breathable (failure = clammy feel, loss of body heat, heavy jacket, etc.), but I don’t see much written about it. Does it differ on new jackets? How do major restorative brands (revivex, nikwax, granger’s, etc.) differ? how long should it last, how many time can I wash and dry to rejuvenate? If there is another thread or great article, please point me to it. Thanks!

Perhaps I can point you to the following discussion which also discusses DWR’s: http://www.outdoorsmagic.com/forum/forummessages/mps/dt/4/UTN/12851/V/8/SP/
Thanks very much! Lots of good discussion of waterproof / breathability and DWR, initiated by an interesting research piece.
Anyone got data on DWR product comparisons? Which lasts longest?
