I may try some repellant on the outside so it may act like rainex, and may be easier to wipe off. Nikwax works pretty good, I have recently gone to waterproof paniers… so no more covers me!

I already purchased this http://www.rei.com/product/777720 a while back and have yet to use it. I like the idea of the one-step process tho. @Cathy Thanks… I already purchased this http://www.rei.com/product/777720 a while back and have yet to use it.

I extended the life of my 30 year old Eureka tent by a few years using the TX Direct...at least long enough to safe up the scratch to buy a new one. LOL Aaron Nikwax is good stuff.

They really extend the life of the garment. The wash-in repellent is somewhat harder to find than the Nikwax spray-on type.
