[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 372975, member: 337"] From what I know the water-beading sprays are to bead water on the cover fabric - they don't help the Gore membrane. CLEAN Gore-Tex does its job (if it's intact) so it doesn't needs "help". The problem is that many detergents or pre-cleaners contain surfactants, etc. that mess up the clean Gore membrane's performance. Gore suggests washing gear with old school powdered detergent with no fancy stain fighters etc... rinsing really well, and treating the outer cover fabric with a water beading product like Revivex.

Again - watch where that crap lands - wherever it lands it's going to be slippery as the devil and will screw up a garage floor or driveway. [/QUOTE]
