DWR

Water-repellent outer fabric provides additional insulation and prevents liquid from saturating your Patagonia garment's outer fabric, a condition known as 'wet out' that can make you feel damp and clammy. Your garment may even feel like it's leaking, although it's not.

DWR is not a waterproofing treatment and by itself does not provide protection in extended wet weather. But used on a weatherproof Patagonia garment, it will help keep you dry and comfortable by reducing the heat loss through wet fabric

Regular wear and tear, plus exposure to dirt, detergents, insect repellant, and other impurities, causes DWR failure. DWR is not permanent on any fabric. Its effective life depends upon how you care for your garment and how rigorously it is used.

The most effective way to maintain your Patagonia garment's water and stain repellency is to wash it, rinse it, and put it in your dryer. The washing removes contaminants and the heat from the dryer helps redistribute and bond the DWR on the fabric surface. You can also apply a restorative DWR treatment, available at most outdoor retail stores.
