Impregnere Arteryx Leaf??

[Pearce]

Nå har jeg sprayet Gore Texen med impregnering så mange ganger og jeg blir like søkkvåt.

Kan noen hjelpe meg med gode råd?

Er plagget gammelt?

Gore-tex som ikke er ødelagt er vanntett uavhengig av impregnering.

Impregnering er egentlig bare for komfort. Det gjør at vann ikke trekker inn i ytterstoffet, noe som gjør at jakken puster bedre, føles varmere og tørker raskere. 

Membranen som er laminert mellom ytterstoff og innerstoff skal være vanntett uansett.

Jeg trur AT har bra garantivilkår, så om plagget ikke er alt for gammelt kan du få det byttet eller reparert på garanti.

Ca 3-4 år. Etter at fabrikkimpregneringen ble vasket bort i første vask har jeg forgjeves prøvd flere typer Gore Tex impregnering.

Så jeg vil si problemet har vært der fra dag 1.

Jeg har snakket me Arcteryx om det samme problemet, og fikk dette til svar:

Thanks for your patience, the brand expert would like you to try the below treatment as an initial first step.   Properly washing your Arc'teryx Gore-Tex removes dirt and other contaminates, restoring its water repellency and breathability.  All Gore-tex jackets need to be cleaned and re-proofed on a regular basis to ensure the jacket is performing at its best. It is best to make sure that the jacket is clean before using a reproofer to ensure that it sticks to the outerface fabric more efficiently.   In a regular washing machine, use warm water on a gentle cycle to clean your garment. We suggest the use of cleaners designed specifically for Gore-Tex and Softshells, such as Granger’s Performance Wash (aka 30° C Cleaner).  There are many soaps that have UV brighteners, perfumes or whiteners and can reduce the effectiveness of the durable water repellent (DWR) treatment on your garment.   It is also best to avoid any cleaners that have fabric softeners in them (such as Woolite®).   If the garment is no longer shedding water as it used to, even after it has been washed and dried, it is time to reapply the DWR. We recommend using Grangers® XT Proofer spray because the technologies complement the garment's original DWR treatment. After washing close all zippers, hang the wet garment on a hanger and spray Grangers® XT Proofer evenly onto the wet face fabric of the garment. Next, place the garment in a tumble drier on a medium heat setting (40°C) for about 50 minutes. We do not recommend using a wash-in DWR as it does not always apply evenly.   For more information on Grangers products and for a complete list of our product care information please visit the links below:   -www.grangers.co.uk   -http://arcteryx.com/product-care.aspx    You can also view our wash instruction video for a detailed review of how to care for your Gore-tex product from the link above under the heading “How to wash your Arc´teryx GORE-TEX Garment”
