Waterproofing jacket?

[kenbro]

Hi,
Are there any very good products on the market that members would recommend for Re-proofing a Rivers West jacket.
Not sure what it’s made of.
I sprayed it once with an aerosol but that wasn’t successful.
The new pup chowed the main zipper a few months ago so cost of that needs taking into consideration when deciding whether it’s worth re-proofing.
Thanks,Ken.

Nikwax products work well for restoring water repellency in my experience; they even have synthetic-fleece-specific options if that’s the material.

Get some stuff called "repel" from @diverdave on here.

I'm not sure how successful you'll be at waterproofing a bonded fleece like the rivers west.Repel may give you a bit of beading but won't fix a perished membrane.Or that what I've found on an old RW smock I had.

Grangers wash and repel, which is a cleaner and proofer in one. If the garment is able to be tumble dried it works well.

It works well on fishing flies, it was not designed for this but appears to work on all but CDC - no idea why! It was never designed to fix holes, it will not turn a net into a bucket! The repel needs to be applied directly to the fabric and not to dirt.
