Why You Should Waterproof Your Clothes

Have you ever been out in a downpour & felt your jacket getting heavier & heavier as you get wetter & wetter? We don't want that! By waterproofing your clothes, you avoid that uncomfortable feeling. Waterproofing creates an invisible barrier that prevents water from penetrating the fabric. Instead, the rain beads off - how cool is that? 😄

But waterproofing isn't just about keeping you dry. It also protects your clothes from dirt & stains. Imagine accidentally spilling coffee on your new jacket... If it's waterproofed, no problem, because the liquid won't soak into the fabric & you can easily wipe it off. Waterproofing simply extends the life of your favorite garments! 🙌

Which Garments Should Be Waterproofed?

Basically, all outerwear benefits from some waterproofing now & then, especially if they're made of delicate materials like down or wool. But some garments are more important to waterproof than others:

• Jackets & parkas
• Shell jackets
• Rain gear
• Shoes & boots
• Tents & sleeping bags

Keep in mind that different materials require different types of waterproofing. For example, a down jacket needs a different product than a Gore-Tex shell jacket. Always check the care label before you start! 👀

How Often Should You Waterproof?

How often you need to waterproof your clothes depends on how much you use them & in what weather conditions. As a rule of thumb, we usually say it's time when the water no longer beads on the surface but starts to soak into the fabric.

For everyday jackets & shoes that are used a lot, waterproofing may be needed once per season, while garments that mostly hang in the closet can go longer between treatments. Just feel it out! If you see the water starting to absorb into the fabric, it's time to waterproof. 💦

Here's How to Waterproof Your Clothes

Waterproofing clothes is actually super easy! Just follow these steps:

1. Make sure the garment is clean & dry
2. Read the instructions on the waterproofing product carefully
3. Apply the product evenly over the entire surface, either by spraying or brushing it on
4. Let the garment dry thoroughly, preferably overnight
5. Heat up the waterproofing using a tumble dryer or iron for best effect

Voila! Now you have a garment that withstands wind & weather. Just be sure to follow the instructions on your specific waterproofing product, as they can differ slightly. 😊
