What is DWR? (Durable Water Repellency)

Often confused for waterproofing, Durable Water Repellency, or DWR, is a technology that we use throughout our range of waterproofs. DWR causes water to bead on the surface of the fabric so that instead of soaking into the garment's outer fabric, the rain simply rolls off. By reducing the amount of standing water on the garment’s outer, the breathability of the fabric is maintained and it remains light and comfortable to wear. After prolonged use you may find that the DWR’s performance begins to diminish. This can be refreshed by applying a DWR treatment after washing.
