Winterize Your Raincoat

When Gore Tex and other breathable raincoats become dirty they can “wet-out” during a heavy rain and they are less effective. Here is how I treat mine. I wash it in my washing machine on the gentle cycle with Ivory Powder or a synthetic fabric cleaner. I then rinse it twice, then while it is wet I put it on a coat hanger and hang it on my clothes line. Here I spray it on the exterior with Revivex, applying a good coating to the shoulders and cuffs. Next I put it in my dryer and dry it for 60 minutes on a medium setting and I’m finished.
