I bought a cordura jacket a couple years back from BMW. At first it was impervious to rain. Now it soaks right through. I clean it will dish soap and water, that's it. Has anyone else had this happen? Have I done something wrong? I bought a pair of cordura pants last year and I would like to sing a different song with them.

Ride, Ride, Ride, the Harvest Moon tonight tells a sad tale--winter nears.

Nikwax TX-Direct Wash-In is your friend!

Check out their special detergent that protects the DWR. It eventually wears off of any garment, especially if you wash it.
