How to maintain Water Repellency
On the outer fabric of technical clothing, a chemical product is applied to ensure a certain level of "water repellency": water beads up on the outer fabric and its penetration into the fabric is delayed.
At Lagoped, we use a water repellent that does not contain fluorinated compounds (PFCs), which are endocrine disruptors. This water repellent does not completely stop water from penetrating the outer fabric, as at Lagoped, it is the membrane that blocks the water.
Due to our refusal to use PFCs in our water repellents, the outer fabric of our jackets will get wet when exposed to more than just a few raindrops. To maintain the water repellency of your jacket or pants, you can use the PFC-free water repellent:
NST PROOF
It is even advisable to do this when the fabric gets too wet in the rain.
We recommend applying the water repellent to your garment while it is still damp (but wrung out) after washing. Hang it on a hanger and use the spray from a distance of 15 cm. This way, you can see exactly where you are applying the water repellent. Then, let it air dry. Once the garment is dry, you can put it in the tumble dryer for about fifteen minutes to better fix the water repellent through a polymerization effect.
