    I have 3 yr old dry joy tour collection rain 1/2 zip rain jacket How do I rewaterproof before my trip to Scotland?
  •  

    Is it actually leaking..Scotch Guard might work if it leaks!

    There is no such thing as "re waterproof." As a DryJoys product, you should be fine. Go put it on and stand in the shower. You'll know if it works fast

    Great response Randy.

    Unless its been abused, it should be just fine.  I have some FJ jackets that are older than 3 years that are still doing the job.

    I have a FJ  rain suit over 10 years old and it is just fine. 3 years is nothing.

    Zero Restriction used to sell a re-waterproofing liquid you would put in the washer with your rain suit....see if they still sell it.

    I've never used "duck tape" before. Do you use it like this?

    I have used a product from Nikwax for various outdoor backpacking gear that is available from REI stores.  They have a washin product but I think that also waterproofs the inside fabric which in my opinion does not help  the breathability. The washin is easier but I suggest the spray on version which you only use on the outside.  After three years you should be fine unless you have been washing your jacket excessively.   I played in Ireland and good rain gear - jacket, pants , bucket hat and the FJ raingloves- are a must.   You may want a full sleeve jacket as well as half though.  Enjoy your trip.

    Welcome to the FJC!

     

    This is an interesting topic and will be better addressed by FJ personnel (Devin/Chris) or you may want to speak with FJ customer service.

    Realistically, the FJ product line does not simply stop working after the 2 year warrantee.

    Enjoy your trip (East or West coast of Scotland?)
