For those of you looking to extend the life of your rain gear - 

I usually end up cleaning my gear once or twice a season (or whenever they need it) 

and have been using the above products for several seasons with quite a bit of success.

 Seems much better for the gear than ordinary laundry detergent & especially fabric softener,

which is usually not recommended on this type of gear.

Follow the directions.

Thanks for timely post A-Jay!  I just got a new suit, I am sure it will need to be cleaned at some point.  I added this to my cart on Amazon for a future purchase.

I think I use that same brand of waterproofing spray for my boots, it works! 

Something that I think few think/know to do with rain gear to keep it in good shape and working properly.

The best!
