Waterproof Your Jacket for Fall Adventures - Tips & Tricks from Brandosa
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:
- Start by washing the jacket according to the care label. The waterproofing adheres best to a clean surface.
- If using wash, pour the agent into the washing machine & run the program.
- For spray, hang up the jacket & spray evenly over the entire surface. Be extra careful with seams & zippers.
- Let the jacket dry thoroughly, preferably overnight.
- 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! ☔💪
