Re-applying water-repellant to Prada Stretch Zions

[atenjones]

I've had a pair of Stretch Zions for about a year, and I absolutely love them. But I've noticed on the last couple hikes that the DWR seems to be gone. I walked through some wet grass this morning, and my legs were instantly soaked. Is it possible to re-apply some type of DWR, or should they be transitioned to dry-weather only pants now?

Thanks!

I’m interested in replies. Thought about treating w w light application of Greenland wax. I know it would decrease breath ability

I have used nikwax for years but always thought it had a bit of a stink. I heard about this from a guy at Sitka and tried it on an older jacket. So far so good.

I've always used the nikwax wash-in and spray-on with good results. If it has a wicking liner then you have to use the spray on. If it does not have a wicking liner than use the wash-in. There is also a 5 question quiz on the nikwax website that helps you learn which products to use, and they send you free samples if you get 100%

Also, forgive me if I’m stating the obvious but don’t use fabric softeners on any dwr clothing.

I've used silicone spray on rain jackets with some success. This was for coaching so i was just standing there. It'll probably effect breathability but it's worth a shot.
Make sure to give them a few days to dry before going anywhere you plan on hunting, it stinks.
