So a thread on the other site got me thinking, and since I know we have some camo aficionados here without so much of the noise, I thought I would post here. Why are we not adding durable water repellants to our own clothing to make commonly available garment materials highly water resistant? After some thought, Kiwi Quick Dry and 3M Scotchguard are both available for cheap and considered to be a DWR, and since there are a lot of quality camo patterns available in polyester materials, why aren't we applying our own DWR, to make highly water resistant stuff and saving a pile of $$$ in the process? Anyone every applied some of the easy to get DWR treatments to their clothes? Any success? How does this compare to the DWR applications used on materials such as Wolfskin? Does the stuff smell? Will it last long enough to wash and get it scent free?
i've used somethings that was unscented when it dried. worked okay as long as u didn't wash it. but inhale that stuff while putting it on or wearing it shortly after, & you'll know what huffers feel like, whewww!
