Probably the most compelling reason to use this product is to totally restore the DWR of garments. That much is a given but be sure and read the instructions and do NOT wash with a detergent-based soap or the whole process goes to poop. The secondary issue given the fact there are other DWR treatments to be found, is that this one DOES NOT stink like some industrial cleanser. You have been warned. The other major brand has a horrific odor. This does not. I have used this successfully on Marmot MemBrain jackets (which really benefits as MemBrain loses its DWR very rapidly but is otherwise great), various GoreTex jackets, pants and hats. I treat all of my gear yearly and never, ever experience "wet-out". Works as advertised. Highly recommended.

This is a trim cut jacket so it does not allow for many bulky layers beneath, FYI. Thin microfleece or perhaps a single long sleeve shirt of some type is all I need. The build quality is outstanding, what I expect of the brand. The materials are top notch and the style is just different enough without being dated. Very warm, the ability to completely stow the hood is a plus. Not overly crinkly, I recommend this jacket for outdoor activity with little restriction, or cold wet situations.
