Yo one thing EVERYONE need to be aware of buying new legit rain gear in 2024. The old DWR is gone for good.. do not eat in your rain gear anymore. The new safer DWR does bead water and does it like 75% as good as the toxic stuff did. However.. It has ZERO stain repellence anymore. I learned that the very expensive way on a $200+ Patagonia Jacket from spring 2023. Be careful.
Thank you brother. I had some doubts about the longevity of the jacket, but now that I know that the water resistance can be restored, I will pull a trigger and get one
Hi, great video. I have some problem with my jacket, i washed it, tried to impregnate it, but it is still soaking water in. Don’t you know where might the problem be? I used quite a lot DWR on it, so I really don’t know. Thanks:)
Thanks! When it comes to the shell collection I normally hand it in to my local store for restoration, because of the waterproof function. If it’s any other trousers I normally try myself with needle and thread, as long as it’s not on the knees or the back part. Good luck man
I wonder why you not doing same test after applying impregnation spray just as before you applied...before jacket is on floor to catch more water and after you hang it on a chair so water can drop down right away
I have got same jacket,same water repellant spray but before washing was better then after...only difference is,I don't know how to dry it properly cos tumble dryer available to me doesn't have temperature adjustment...I only have programs available from which I used cold program 🤷🏻♂️
I'm having a major issue with the same jacket. Areas of the jacket absorb water instantly where others are completely waterproof. I've been through the process in the video three times but to no success. Maybe just bad luck 😕
Hi Oayx. Mine is a few years old and when I look at the chestnut color online it differs a bit. I can’t remember which color mine is. It might be that there has been another color on sale before. But I really recommend the jacket, and the chestnut color looks great. I also had a matching pair of the keb trousers, so I was probably easy to find in the woods.
@@j.thorbjornsson2225 lmaooo yeah it is a bright color, which i like. Im still coming to terms with the price being so high but i probably will get it once i move into my dorm. thank you
Kind of sad that a jacket that costs $500 needs maintenance. Their website says 'lifetime repairs'. I assume it losing its waterproofing capabilities over time, should fall into that category. But what do I know.
I have a lot of things that needs maintenance to work properly. Everything from knifes to tents, shell jackets and outdoor trousers. Personally I have nothing against doing this maintenance. It gives me a perfect opportunity to inspect my stuff. And I find it relaxing. But hey, that’s just me :)

You need to put it in the dryer
Nicely done!
Thanks
Grymt, var ju en otrolig skillnad !
Väldigt, rekommenderas starkt att göra detta!
Great video! I have a few tears and holes in my eco shell keb trousers after rough use. Would you have any suggestions as to how one can fix them?

Nice video, and nice jacket. Is the main zipper watertight?
Thanks for the comment. Yes it is, it has a fabric on the inside that makes it work perfect 👍🏻
Is this the chestnut color? Considering getting one

Every single rain jacket needs in order to work as a waterproof jacket to be maintained, $200 one or $500 one, it is the same
