Why Waterproof Your Jacket? 🤔

Fall is here with everything that comes with it - colorful leaves, cozy evenings but also a lot of rain & sleet! ☔ To be able to enjoy all the beautiful things fall has to offer without getting soaked, a waterproofed jacket is a must. But why is it so important really? Well, waterproofing makes the water run off instead of penetrating the fabric. It keeps you dry & warm regardless of the weather! 😊

But waterproofing serves more functions than that! It also protects against dirt & stains, which keeps your jacket looking great longer. And a jacket that breathes well & ventilates moisture reduces the risk of you getting sweaty & cold. Not a fun feeling! 😓

How Often Should You Waterproof? ⏰

How often you need to waterproof your jacket depends a bit on how much you use it & in what weather conditions. But a good rule of thumb is to do it once per season, preferably in the fall before the rainy weather really kicks in. ☔

A simple test to see if it's time to waterproof is to spray some water on the jacket. If the water beads up & runs off, the waterproofing is still okay. But if the fabric instead absorbs the water & gets dark & wet, then it's high time to bring out the waterproofing agent! 😉

What Kind of Waterproofing Should You Choose? 🤷

When choosing a waterproofing agent, there are a few things to consider:

• Spray bottle or wash? Spray is simple & fast, perfect for freshening up the waterproofing now & then. Waterproofing wash provides longer-lasting protection.
• Eco-friendly option? Choose an agent without fluorocarbons & toxic additives if you want to be kind to nature! 🌿
• Waterproof or water-repellent? For those who spend a lot of time outdoors in all weather, a waterproof agent is best. For everyday use, water-repellent works well.

Step-by-Step Guide: Waterproof Your Jacket! 👕

Follow along as we go through how to easily waterproof your jacket at home:

1. Start by washing the jacket according to the care label. The waterproofing adheres best to a clean surface.
2. If using wash, pour the agent into the washing machine & run the program.
3. For spray, hang up the jacket & spray evenly over the entire surface. Be extra careful with seams & zippers.
4. Let the jacket dry thoroughly, preferably overnight.
5. Gently heat the surface with an iron or tumble dryer to "activate" the waterproofing.

That's it! Now your jacket is ready to face all kinds of fall weather! ☔💪
