Western Rain Gear
Two-Ply vs. Three-Ply: In Coated nylon and Gore-TEX jackets
the waterproof layer is enclosed in either a two-tiered or three tiered
layer of fabric. In two-ply, a mesh lining protects the delicate
waterproof layer on the inside of the coat, while in three-ply, a fabric
sandwich encloses the waterproof layer on both sides. Three-ply jackets
protect the waterproof layer, creating a more durable jacket, but are
heavier.Hood: Look for a spacious hood with the ability to
adjust size and a generous and stiffened bill. For use on FOP, your
raingear MUST have a hood.Washing Raingear: It's important to wash your raingear after
every use to prevent dirt buildup. To do away with minor dirt, wash the
raingear in warm water with no detergent. For a more thorough cleaning,
machine wash with a mild detergent or non-detergent soap like Nikwax
Techwash. Rinse the garment twice to eliminate soap residue. Dry the
jacket on low or steam-iron it on warm or synthetic. Either process will
redistribute the DWR finish more than an air-dry. NEVER use bleach,
fabric softener or dry-cleaning solvents on rainjackets.
