But to be honest: water resistant material contains highly toxic forever chemicals that slowly destroy our environment. I'd rather get a bit of water resistance with wax than buying such a bullshit. And hey, we live in a modern world. There is no need to be outside in a rainstorm for weeks like people did a few hundred years ago
I had a Kaipac Jacket and I've waxed it at least 3-times intensively but the jacket became not even close to be waterresistent. After a 6-7min. walk to my RC boathouse in really very light rain I found some wet parts on my shoulders. Therefore I gave it back. I need something I can relay on. Fijällraven don't even keep there own promises.

Understand that DWR Teflon and Goretex are using chemicals that do degrade over time and with washes. Wax is just safer and more eco-friendly. What gets me is the insane prices Fjallraven charges for tech from the 1700's

I waxed my G1000 and the water just ran off. Of course it isn't water resistant without it. Seems obvious.

If you can add wax to a fabric Then that wax can be removed . If a fabric is woven it has gaps Water gets in theough gaps if the structure of a fabric is porous it will absorb water . So if you add a wax to a porous woven fabric It wont last and wont perform like a material such as latex . Wax jackets became unpopular for a reason Cotton and cotton polyester clothing is not for harsh weather . The wax clothing and even millitar6 clothing might have an appealing look but its fair weather stuff shower resistant at best this is old news Marketing sells us anything but old ideas are new ideas for the next generation . No one outfit fits all weather wear stuff appropriate to conditions .

I have a question. So I got like the same gun, I load the mag with gas and BBs and then put the mag in the gun and then I go to slide the slide back and then it just starts shooting like full auto and wastes the whole mag of gas and all like even without pressing the trigger, if that makes sense

In my experience there's two kinds of wax: * The oil wax treatment, as in Filson tin can, or british, or australian style, which is made from solid paraffin and liquid vaseline oil. It resembles butter or other animal fats and it's applied as a greasy cream or as a liquid solution and then it is heated. It is almost fully waterproof but doesn't breathe at all. Also it soils the stuff it touches when fresh * The dry wax treatment, as in Greenland wax or just a candle, which is just solid paraffin or some animal or plant-based solid wax. It is rubbed into fabric (a lot of layers and some 8 hours of work needed to treat the fresh garment) and then heated. It's more breathable, doesn't soil your other clothes and gear, and it makes the fabric heavier and sturdier. But it creases, whitens out after being wet, it reduces breathability to levels I'd say below membranes when applied generously. And it is just a water-resistant treatment, so after some 20-30 minutes of heavy rain the fabric soaks through. For me personally, oil wax doesn't work in the outdoors, it's just not breathable. But I don't want to rely on membranes, either. I say, you need three things for the dry wax to work. Firstly, really tight weaved fabric. It shouldn't be permeable by direct light - should be no white dots when you put a torch or sunlight against it. Secondly, I would wax the front, the shoulders, the hood and the sleeves thoroughly. The back and the armpits, or where the backpack sits, should be left lightly waxed. Then, thirdly, I would use Nikwax CottonProof to finish the job. Keep in mind that the Nikwax solution for the membranes doesn't work on cotton. So, then you have a semi-waterproof shell that can be washed in cold water (30 celsius, no t higher) and then quickly reproofed with a paraffin candle, hair dryer and a Nikwax wash. It works when it's colder, not so great in heat. And you need good layering inside, like wool, polar fleece or coolmax shirt. You'll still sweat more and in steady rain the garment will soak, so you need a wicking layer underneath. The thing dries really quickly. Sasta does their garments like that, and there's Paramo but I've never tried these brands. Or just forget the wax and use NikWax solution or any other DWR. Works just the same, more breathable, but no added abrasion-resistance and it wears out quickly. But no hard labor and excessive sweat. I say waxing is for those who enjoy tedious and ungrateful work that is hard to master, too. Don't know who needs this but I feel like sharing.

That was interesting, I needed this! :) exactly my experience! But I have not tried nikwax cotton proof on g1000. There is a spray-on (which I understand is for treating already waxed barbour jackets) and a wash-in. Do you recommend using the spray-on on already waxed g-1000 garment, to refresh it after a 30 degree wash? I think maybe the cotton proof wash-in would make the whole garment less breathable and spray-on can be applied only to the parts you want.
@OverCowboy26 күн бұрын
@@mygg15 eh I have negative experience with the spray-on, it's ending up uneven. If you spray, keep some rag in hand to even it out. I don't think prior wash is needed
@mygg1526 күн бұрын
@@OverCowboy thank you! I will try to just wash the whole jacket with cotton proof in the washing machine for starters. Or du you think the g-1000 wax ironed in prior to the cotton-proof wash is adding any value for protecting the g-1000 or for waterresistence in some areas?

As an owner of G1000 treated with their wax, of you use enough in strategic areas...your neck below the hood. I find its breathability exceptional compared to synthetic fabric. You can reapply while sitting by the fire. And, because it is made of cotton, it dries really quickly.
