Topical topic!
Went out on Monday night in my so-called waterproof textile jacket and encountered hailstones, torrential rain, drizzle and mud pies left by tractors
I was only out for 1/2 an hour and it took two days for my jacket (Aldi Crown) to dry out. It is over a year old now and has seen some weather but even had wet arms where the rain came through the outer layer and the thermal liner and as for my T shirt- well I rung that out
.
It is just out of the washing machine as it was pretty filthy (fluorescent yellow model)
So,....... cut out the middle man and throw it away or treat it with some wonder spray that will stop all future water getting as far as me?
Cant afford a new jacket at the moment so- treat it or go back to my old Weiss jacket that did at least have some semblance of waterproofing or plan B... dont ride when it is raining
