If you find your waterproof, breathable shell is no longer shedding water there are a couple of possible solutions. 1) Run a warm iron over your shell to reactivate the water-repellant finish; 2) If that doesn’t work, you can treat it with a durable water repellent (dwr) finish like Nikwax. Hint: Keeping your shell clean will help it last longer. Wash it with a washing agent that is designed for waterproof, breathable garments like Nikwax Tech Wash.
