Rain gear waterproofing

The Falcon · 2013-04-10 13:32:40

Hi, My Nike rain gear (a few years old) is starting to let in the wet. Friend suggested Scotchgard spray - Any idea where I might get this in Dublin? (I've tried a few 'sports' shops and McGuirks but no joy); or suggest another remedy. Thanks

You should be able to get scotchguard in some of those furniture shops in Capel St., Dublin, or thereabouts. I used to use it for keeping the leather seats in the car looking well. Ah, Those were the days, now its seatcovers from aldi!!
