My buddy and I were crazy enough or inexperienced enough to try our luck in steelheading today

 

The water color was off-colored to the point which I would not even come out if I knew

but enough to keep us wetting lines since we were there already.

 

Needless to say, the weather got really bad after 12:00pm but we were stubborn enough

to keep fishing in the heavy rainfall

 

While hanging my garments for drying, I noticed that my brand new Simms L2 wader did not

have any 'wet spots' on surface whereas half of my Simms jacket looked wet.

 

wonder if it is because the DWR has been worn out and decided to get myself a bottle of ReviveX

The instruction says to spray it on and tumble dry it .. here are my question:

 

1) Will the hand-warmer fabrics be damaged when undergoing the heat?

2) Will there be any damages to my Simms?

3) Can it be hair-dryered instead of drying machine?

 

Thanks!

Wash with a Synthetic Fabric Cleaner first, then spray the garment with revivex and put in the drier (delicate setting) to dry. It works great.

Waders are another story, you have to hand wash with a Synthetic Fabric Cleaner first. After the waders are washed and thoroughly rinsed, saturate the outside of the waders with Revivex® or other water repellent treatment. Allow product to drip-dry. "Set" the treatment with heat using a blow dryer or iron (low setting), avoiding the stockingfoot attachment area.
