Some waterproof breathable companies (ie gore) don't recommend the wash in DWR treatment. This is actually listed right on their website under the 'washing/care center' the wash in treatment applies a DWR on BOTH sides of the jacket because its all submersed in water. You dont want the inside of teh jacket to repel moisture...because it needs to pass that moisture through the membrane out into the coat. This will inhibit the breath ability of the jacket. Use the spray on that nikwax offers. You can then only apply to the OUTSIDE of the jacket! And then toss it in the dryer to activate it I beleive.

Nikwax offers a product for hardshell jackets (eVent is specifically listed) that is designed for just this purpose: Nikwax Wash-In TX Direct Wash In. Backcountry.com stocks it so just search the website.
