In December 2000 I bought an E.S.P. Drenchwear waterproof suit, which was dry and warm. After the winter and more than a few pike sessions on the local drains, it got smelly and muddy, but still was as dry as I expected.
I then washed it as the sewn in instructions advised....it was no longer as waterproof. I even sprayed it with a proprietry waterproofing spray from the army stores, this seemed to improve the situation , but only for a short while.
It has had to be washed again as it was in danger of becoming a new life form, again its proofing has reduced. The best advice from my local tackle shop, who incidentally sells the same suit is never to wash it.
Can anyone tell me of a satifactory proofing agent that is suitable for breathable fabrics.
