FAQs

How often should I re-proof my jacket?

The frequency depends on how often you wear and wash your garment. Generally, re-proof when you notice water is no longer beading on the surface.

Can I use this on any type of waterproof fabric?

This product is designed for shell jackets and similar waterproof garments. Always check the garment label for specific care instructions and fabric compatibility.

Do I need to clean the garment before using the re-proofer?

Yes, it is essential to clean the garment first. Use a cleaner specifically designed for waterproof fabrics to remove dirt and residue. Using the correct cleaner is also key to optimal performance.

What if I don't have a tumble dryer?

You can iron the garment on a low setting, following the garment's care label instructions. Ensure the iron is not too hot, and use a pressing cloth if necessary.

Can I use this product on non-Craghoppers garments?

Yes, this product can be used on a wide range of waterproof garments. Always check the garment's care label and test on an inconspicuous area first.

How long does the reproofing last?

The duration of the reproofing effect varies depending on use and washing. Typically, it can last for several washes. Reapply when the garment starts to lose its water-repellent properties.

Is this product environmentally friendly?

Yes, this product is fluorocarbon-free, making it a more environmentally friendly option.

Troubleshooting

Water isn't beading on the garment after treatment.

Ensure you've used the correct amount of re-proofer, followed the heat activation step (tumble dry or iron) at the correct temperature, and that the garment was thoroughly cleaned beforehand. Re-apply following the instructions.

White residue on the garment after washing.

Ensure the re-proofer is thoroughly rinsed out during the wash cycle. If residue persists, re-wash the garment without re-proofer.

The garment still wets out after reproofing.

The garment might be heavily soiled. Try cleaning the garment again using a technical cleaner and reapply the re-proofer. The garment may be too old, and the fabric has reached the end of its life.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the garment is clean. Wash it first with a cleaner specifically designed for waterproof garments (recommended Craghoppers cleaner). Follow the garment's care label instructions.
  2. Application: Place the clean garment in the washing machine. Add the Craghoppers Wash In ReProofer to the dispenser according to the product instructions.
  3. Washing: Run the washing machine on a standard cycle (check the product label for specific temperature recommendations).
  4. Activation (Heat Cure): After washing, tumble dry the garment on a low to medium heat setting, or iron it on a low setting (again, check the garment's label). This heat activates the water-repellent treatment.
  5. Care: Avoid using fabric softeners or detergents with additives, as these can reduce the effectiveness of the reproofing treatment. Wash the garment as needed following the same process when reproofing is required.
