  • Interesting video Jason. Thanks for posting it. I have always tried to avoid washing my gore-tex jackets, so this was really helpful information for me!

  • Great, I'm glad you found it helpful.

  • They're so easy to wash by hand then hang to dry.

  • According to the video, air drying will not restore the DWR because you need the heat from a dryer to restore it.

  • So i have hang dried my Gore tex jacket, is that bad...how should i dry it if i got no drying machine?

  • In the video, he mentions that you can also use an iron to restore the DWR.
