Webtogs guide to Waterproof Jackets

[Mugtree]

Thanks. Really helpful. It's helped make my mind up for my new jacket :o)

Goretex DOES wear out. Where it creases, the membrane is weakened. I have several jackets and ski suits where this has happened. Takes a few years.

[bencorgan]

Could you make another video for fleeces?

[webtogs]

We will definitely see if we can do!

[bencorgan]

fantastic video. I wish I'd see this before I bought my jacket.

One question: aren't Coated Jackets just as durable as gortex if you recoat them every 18 months or so?

[webtogs]

Sadly you can't recoat them, thats part of the manufacturing process. You can however wash them and reproof them using Nikwax, Grangers or a similar product when they get dirty and their breathability is impaired. The DWR Finish will also fade away over time (thats the finish that makes water "bead" on the surface of the jacket) and again re-proofing will make that come back.
