If the outer shell absorbs a lot of water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability. Therefore, maintaining durable water repellency (DWR) in the outer fabric of the garment is essential to ensure its functionality. DWR treatments wear off over time and need to be renewed with suitable products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWaterproof fabrics must allow moisture vapor to pass through, or breathe, otherwise, sweat cannot evaporate, leading to moisture. If the outer fabric absorbs water and becomes wet, breathability is reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTech Wash Usage\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn case of tough stains, apply Tech Wash® directly and use a sponge or soft nylon brush to treat the stains before washing.
