FAQs
How often should I re-proof my gear?
The frequency depends on how often you use your gear and the conditions you expose it to. Generally, re-proof every few washes or when you notice a reduction in water resistance.
Can I use this on all types of fabrics?
While the re-proofer is suitable for many fabrics, always check the garment's care label first. It's especially effective on insulated waterproofs.
How do I activate the re-proofer?
Activation typically involves applying heat, either with a tumble dryer on a low setting or with a warm iron. Always follow the instructions on the product label.
What if I don't have a tumble dryer?
You can use a warm iron. Place a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric to protect it from direct heat.
How should I clean my gear after re-proofing?
Use a gentle cleaner designed for outdoor gear. Avoid using harsh detergents, as they can strip away the re-proofer. Air dry the gear after washing.
Is the re-proofer environmentally friendly?
Yes, the Craghoppers Spray On ReProofer is fluorocarbon-free, making it an environmentally conscious choice.
How much product should I use?
Apply the product evenly, ensuring complete coverage. Avoid saturating the fabric. For larger items, you might need more than one can.
Troubleshooting
Water beading is poor after treatment.
Ensure the gear was thoroughly cleaned before application. Reapply the re-proofer and heat-activate again. Check the fabric's compatibility with the product.
The product doesn't seem to be working.
Make sure you have correctly followed the heat activation process. Ensure the gear is completely dry before use. If the problem persists, the fabric might be incompatible, or the item may require multiple treatments.
