Question about the timing for restoring DWR:
I've been in the habit of applying DWR treatment to critical backpacking clothing (rainjacket, rainpants, windshirt, shoes) once per year.
Usually, I don't do it till May or June when I'm imminently going out on my first backpacking trip. At that time (first trip of the year), I'm usually really harried and it is an extra hassle.
So my question is, if I apply the DWR treatment now (January) instead of in May, is the DWR going to wear off during that time? (Assuming little/no use of the garment in the interim.) Should I wait till May so that it's "fresher"?
