Wet scrotum

[Blackbird]

Haven't used the Scotchgard canvas stuff (don't think I would if it's silicone based).....but have used the Scotchgard one with the orange lid and it worked fine. There is also Selleys Watershield in a blue can which is also good (but costs a bit more). Both are stocked at Mitre 10.

I doubt the cordura would be breathable after using, but just how breathable is a jacket made from at least 3-4 layers of synthetic material anyway!

Will try the Nikwash stuff next time I'm properly washing them.

Ummm..... I thought that the Sellys Watershield was silicon-based too, just not as concentrated as the Scotchgard Green. Am I wrong about that? You're right about the breathing aspect but I was happy to stay dry with my old Teknic!

Not sure about that one but *don't think so*.....haven't tried the watershield on bike gear but have used it on tents etc...until I discovered the Scotchgard stuff was cheaper.

There's nothing like an icy trickle of water down the scrotum to start off the day.

Are their any sprays that can be used on the gear to re-waterproof it?

Thanks.

Try KY gel. It might be a bit squidgy but it's an improvment from Brylcream.

Kinda on topic.....

I am planning on getting the Re'vit Warp jacket and Mission Pants from Motomail. Anyone use these and have any feedback?

I think he actually needs 'ScroteGuard' perhaps, according to the title of the thread...

Thanks for all the pointers guys,
I'm going to give the gear a good clean this weekend, followed by a spray.

I'll report back after the next Wellington downpour.

Ok,
Washed the sprayed the gear in the weekend. and this morning Wellington decided to chuck everything from the wind, rain, and hail gods at me.

Overall the gear was good. I got a little damp on my legs where they were pressing against the tank and thus pushing the water through. but I guess if i had the liner in the pants I wouldn't have got that.

As for my gloves.. yuk!
I think I'll need to get some silicon spray for them. and it took me the whole weekend to dry them the first time.
