Anyone know how to clean salt stains or other smudged on the jacket? Just trying to brush it off will not work and using water and a towel seems to take the DWR off.

To detail Dean's answer which is spot on. You can and should wash all your tech jackets like this: Use a Tech wash like grangers or nikwax, not regular detergent, and use the extra rinse setting. A warm dryer for 20 minutes will help revive the DWR treatment, and you can use a spray-on (not wash in) treatment if you feel the orignal DWR treatment is diminished. Spray this on after washing, let it dry for a few minutes and pop it in the dryer on med heat for 20 minutes.

Hey there Tester, your going to have to wash the jacket following the mfg's washing destruction's on the tag... I have scrubbed the face fabric and removed some stains/debris, but in the end you will have to wash it... the DWR can be replenished after the wash by lightly drying in the dryer or by using a DWR replenishment...
