I know there are a few cyclists out there.
I have some Tenn overtrousers. They are pretty nice. Waterproof, breathable, lined.
Looser fit (I do not want spray on trousers, I only go a couple of miles or off road in them)
I only commute a couple of miles each way each day.
Had them for four or five years.
They were waterproof for the first season.
Then I tried washing them in nikwax wash in stuff. All good. Lasted another season each wash in.
Last time I tried it, they didn't last the season. (possibly last year as well)
Anyway, they have been repaired a couple of times.
I am considering my options.
Is there a better way to waterproof these than nikwax?
Or is there a more permanent solution that will save me keep buying the wash in stuff.
Thinking about it, I think that I may have used a bucket the first time/s rather than the machine.
Looking at it now, it seems like that can affect it if there is residue in the machine......
Any thoughts?
