    I know the 1st Nov. was a real downpour......I noticed that towards the end of the day my hat, jacket & trousers began to let rain in.....soaked by time I got home.

    I can't complain.....jacket, trousers & hat are Deerhunter that I've for six years.....totally waterproof up to now & very warm & comfy.

    Anybody used any waterproofing products for breathable clothing?......were they any good?.......how long did they last? etc.

    Nikwax any good sports store will have it, also when washing breathable clothing use crystals not washing powder as this will break down the waterproofing.
