Equipment care is important

My first waterproof shell was a used jacket which I got at a gear swap. I was happy to have saved some money buying used but did not know anything about caring for waterproof fabrics which lead to my jacket eventually delaminating. Now I use Nikwax as needed to revive my DWR finish on my jacket and keep my shell breathable. P.S. breathability is what makes your jacket special, not waterproofness, a rubberized rain suit is waterproof but not breathable and that is why they are so sweaty and not suitable for activity beyond standing around in the rain.
