Reproofing waterproof jackets. What do you use?

[AmieeT]

I have a lovely, toasty and very stinky waterproof jacket that I pretty much live in.

As it's coming to the end of winter (hopefully...), I want to wash and reproof it ready for next winter, spot that I can store it and not have my room stink!

What do people use to do so? And how?

It's a Mountain Horse jacket, and I've had a broearly online, they do their own products but I can seem to find any reviews on them.

Thanks in advance!

Nikwax, wash in the washing machine with their tech wash. Then you put the reproof in and wash again. Go outdoors had it on sale half price at the weekend but I don't know how long for.

I use Nikwax rug re proofer for mine, chuck it in with the pony's lightweight rug so I get 2 for 1!

Another vote for Nikwax. I think they do a spray on one if you don't have a tumble dryer.

Thanks all will look into the Nikwax- what relevance does a tumble drier have?

I don't I'll be allowed to use ours... much have to have a trip to the launderette with some rugs too then!

The one I've used in the past requires a spin in the tumble dryer after it's been washed in the waterproofer.

yup some need the heat to work/work better.
