How do I re-waterproof my Proviz clothing?

Over time, the waterproof coating on any jacket will naturally wear down, so re-proofing it every now and then will help keep it performing at its best and make it last longer.

How do I know when it needs re-proofing?

A good sign is when rain stops beading up and rolling off the fabric, and instead starts soaking into the outside of the jacket, making it look darker or feel heavier.

What we recommend

We recommend Nikwax for our garments. There are a few ways to re-proof, but one of the easiest is the wash-in version, which cleans and re-proofs your jacket in your washing machine:

Always follow the instructions on the Nikwax packaging, and check the care label on your garment first.

Drying your kit

Once it's done, remember to dry your kit naturally, away from direct heat, so no tumble drying or drying on a radiator, to protect the reflective finish.
