Rain Shield Re-Proofer
STEP 1 Shake bottle well before use to activate the formula. STEP 2 Spray all over a clean, damp garment from 10-15cm away until garment is fully treated. (We would recommend using a technical performance wash to clean the garment before application. Always follow the washing instructions on the label.) STEP 3 Remove any excess treatment with a clean cloth. STEP 4 Allow treatment to cure. Air dry by hanging up and leave to dry overnight before wearing jacket in wet conditions again. STEP 5 After application, the outside of the garment will be hydrophobic - in other words, water repellent. The water will bead upon impact and roll of the garment, helping to keep the rider dry! Top Tip! Best applied to a clean, damp garment for optimum results. Durable Water Repellent (or DWR) is a treatment applied to the exterior of technical outdoor outerwear and accessories to help the fabrics resist water, therefore improving their performance in wet weather. A DWR coating causes water to bead up and roll off the fabric, which keeps the likes of rain and snow from saturating the exterior of technical apparel. DWR works by making the fibres on the outside of a garment hydrophobic, or, in other words, water repellent. DWR does this by microscopically creating a “spiky” surface on the fabric, which increases “surface tension” or “contact angle” when water comes in contact with it and causes the water to group together as droplets on the outer edge of the fabric. When a DWR coating is no longer functioning optimally, the water droplets spread out across the surface of the fabric, causing it to soak through.
