I heard if you wash your waders and mix 3M Scotchguard, 303 Fabric Guard, Nixwax, Revivex, put an Iphone in your pocket, tumble dry it and then jump in a pool you get the bestest waterproof protection around.

I've used Revivex on my Goretex ECWS parka and trousers. It works well, but doesn't quite get the fabric back to the original level of waterproofedness

It only lasts a couple of washings as well. I'd like to try that 303 stuff to see if it works any better. My breathable waders are also starting to drink, so I need to do something with them.

Has anyone asked the manufacturers what they recommend for their breathable waders? Maybe they have a secret like Grego's!

Actually minwax urethane would work faster.
