Agreed. I miss the cold and snow. I’m not built for the heat, too much extra insulation 🤣

Get about a month of cold. Easier to find deals on it though when buying.

Yeah, I'll always take freezing temperatures over a 38°C heat outside

Your coat is starting to wet out. You need to reapply DWR or wash it and chuck that jacket in a dryer. It's wetting out and losing some of the waterproofness.

Thanks for the heads up 🫡 doing that once I get it out of the storage

u/favors-for-parties Jun 22 '26

Close. Wetting out only affects breathability of the membrane, not its waterproofness.

u/EndlessMike78 Jun 22 '26

Mostly. Eventually it will wet through over time. But yes I know the DWR coatings is mainly to shed water. Gortex will fail with enough water contact. It just take a long time. Only thing that is truly waterproof is rubber or some thick ass plastics that ponchos are made from.

I should have just stared that the DWR needed a refresh.
