Gore Tex care

Post by montezumawell »

Great to have the forum back, Joe! THANKS!
I tried to find the info I'm looking for via search but must not have used the correct search words.

I seem to remember a forum conversation about washing Gore Tex so as to protect/enhance/improve its water repellancy integrity.

I've been hiking a lot in the rain since late October and my Gore Tex seems more like a sponge than a water repeller. Hope someone can refresh my memory on how to "rejuvenate" my Gore Tex.

Thanks!

Hey John,

Google will likely start caching the forum on Thursday
It may take upwards of a month to cover all the pages.

The only thing I could find through a database search was
http://hikearizona.com/dex2/viewtopic.php?t=1857
but that's not really what you're looking for...

I have no comment/advice myself but has anybody tried this...
