Durable Water Repellent (DWR) is a chemical treatment applied to our fabrics to enhance their resistance to water absorption. DWR allows water to bead up and roll off the fabric's surface, preventing it from saturating the material and allowing the wearer to stay dry in wet conditions. DWR serves several crucial functions that contribute to the longevity and performance of garments.
DWR is a coating that does require some maintenance to work properly. Reproofing is required from time to time. Follow these proper washing and care instructions for water-resistant and waterproof garments with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish to help ensure the longevity and performance of the garments while maintaining their functional features if reproofing is required these are some general steps:
Be cautious when using sunscreen on DWR-treated garments, as some sunscreen ingredients can potentially compromise the effectiveness of the DWR coating. Apply sunscreen to exposed skin before putting on the garment to minimize direct contact. Maintain routine cleaning of the garment to remove sunscreen residues that may affect water repellency.
