Waterproofing

[Dman]

I have a set of the Carhart Extreme coat and bibs. The black fabric. I don't have the $ to buy a set of insulated rain gear. Is there a good waterproofing agent out there that would help repel some rain? ScotchGard type or is there something else that use that will work?<br />What do you suggest?<br />Thanks<br />Dman

Re: Waterproofing

Ya, you can purchase canvas waterproofing in<br />sprays on cans, or you can get it in brush on<br />like paint cans. You should be able to get it<br />from any hardware store or probably walmart.<br />Their are different types depending on what<br />type of material you are waterproofing. I just <br />did my canvas wall tent last year and my <br />heli hansen ice fishing winter suite.

You should be able to get something at Gander Mountain or other large sporting goods store. I use a spray can product made by Browning, silicone free. I use it on my boots also. It works as good as any I've tried, better than most.

I second mellowyellow on a medium priced rain suit.<br /><br />Aren't we supposed to dress in "layers" anyway.<br /><br />Besides, it may not be possible to make it truly "waterproof" with any spray on (hot paraffin maybe ).<br /><br />Also, you may goof up the thermal properties of the coat by adding something to the surface.

I think I'll try the spray stuff with a layer of raingear over it. <br />I go to a walleye tourney every year and it's usually 30 degrees with rain/sleet/snow/ect. Need warm gear and waterproof without sacrificing the bank account.<br />Thanks an bunch.<br />D
