Looking for any experience adding a DWR to a sleeping bag. I’ve been using the same MontBell bag for 15+ years. Great bag, but it seems to absorb water (condensation, high humidity, etc.) easily lately.
I’ve recoated tents with a spray-on DWR. Anybody use these on bags? Good results?
Any advice is appreciated!
Was the spray on silicon based or wax based? I would question whether a silicon based spray would be good for the down.
Is this a down or synthetic bag? When was the last time you washed it? Dirt and oil in the down can cause your bag to lose loft.
I had my down bag washed by Rainy Pass Repair and it was like getting a new bag back in the mail. (WWW.rainypassrepair.com)
It’s a down bag. Always taken care of meticulously. Like yours, it comes back like new after a washing.
Water used to bead up and roll off the shell, but not so much anymore. That’s what I’m trying to change. Obviously I don’t want to negatively impact the ability of the down to breath, though.
Nikwax TX Direct, maybe? The spray on version so it doesn’t get into the down?
