and the DWR lasts no time
The new ‘eco’ DWR’s are really poor, both when new and in durability.
waterproof jackets delaminate after a couple of years
I find that they both stop breathing as well and usually starry to leak at areas of high wear, but not delaminate. Are you washing correctly?
We’ve a couple of Altura waterproof’s – a lumi one for commuting and a MTB one that have lasted well and fit nicely. Less breathable but durable.
We’ve also got a Madison Stellar(?) old model which is superb. Really waterproof, a few features I scoffed at but now think are great such as magnetic drop hem and pit-zips on the wonk so accessible when in riding position. Really nice fit too. Was £40 in a sale.
