Hey ya'll I am having an issue with rain gear and ruined apparel, does anyone have any experience with textile proofing and how to properly use it. I spend a lot of money on outdoor apparel and would like to maximize its use and keep it in good standing for as long as possible. Cause it is expensive.

I've 'bout given up on anything that is applied to the fabric. I'm like you, spending a lot of time outside in all kinds of weather, and I HATE getting wet. While they aren't the quietest things to wear, I've used both Gore-Tex and Dry Plus clothing and they both work very well.

I've had my arms wet almost up to my armpits and couldn't figure out why when wearing Gore-Tex. The water was running off my jacket, hitting the cuff of my long sleeve shirt, and wicking up my arm.....

Although that new nano technology that I believe Rustoleum has looks interesting! Before I buy into the hype, I'd like to see longevity test results tho.....

No experience doing it yourself, but if you want something bullet proof, I have a grundens rain jacket that has been through H and back and I wouldn't trade it for any other foul weather jacket

Lightweight or heavy duty? I really should buy a good rain jacket/bibs.

Have you actually used that Never Wet stuff?

I've never used it. I've read the comments, both pro and against.
