To make our coats as waterproof as possible we put them through rigorous testing, tape all of the seams, use the highest quality fabrics and use EQUIGUARD® to provide the best level of protection possible.

We recommend you regularly check your EQUIDRY by spraying some water on it. If the water beads up and rolls off as shown here or flys off with a good shake, you are fully protected. If on the other hand the fabric begins to darken where the water has seeped through it means it’s possibly time to reproof your coat. A coats waterproof properties can easily be rubbed off of high contact areas like the cuffs, elbows and collars. Other areas of the coat that regularly come into contact with surfaces can also react to abrasion.

Even a brilliant waterproof coat will begin to loose some of its waterproof properties after a while. This happens for a number of reasons like a buildup of dirt and oils or because of abrasion. Fear not, this does not mean you will need to invest in a new EQUIDRY! In just a few simple steps you can revive your coat by giving it a clean and applying a spray on DWR.

A DWR coats the individual fibres of the fabric to create a microscopic spikey surface. When water comes into contact with the coated fibres, it increases their surface tension and forces the droplets to bind together on the surface of the fabric and then roll off. When this coating gets rubbed off the water can find ways to penetrate the fabric thus making you feel damp.
