At the risk of sounding like a broken record, just spouting off Nikwax stuff. If you want this jacket to be more water resistant, Use Nixwax T.X. direct, either the spray or wash in will work to keep it alive.

its rated 8K, plus dwr...which isnt that good. so mike once the dwr wears off (after a washing or two, or a few days in the wetness) this jacket will get thoroughly soaked very easily (wether it due to moderate snow or a rain shower) and once the jacket is soaked then you will get wet, very wet, its basically like living inside one of the holes of a sponge, it sucks
