anybody any tips?

Do I need to get hold of 'soap flakes'?

I know its not strictly meant to be a waterproof, but when I first got it water used to bead up and run off, but now it soaks in.

Is it possible to re-proof it, or is this a no-no with Windstopper material?

I wash mine in non-bio and use nikwax to re-proof it now and again.

Does this Grangers 2-in-1 wash do the same thing?

Wash it in nikwax tech wash, then either use spray on or wash in TX direct.
