Wet scrotum

[Dodger]

Well today was the day that my Cordura gear decided that it no longer wanted to be water proof.
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.

Nothing worse than a cold soggy sack.

Have you washed your cordura recently? If not give it a wash with some stuff specifically designed for waterproofs. Motomail sell some of this if you can't find it anywhere else. If the pores in waterproof gear get clogged the water seeps in.

Ahhh... nothing like a frozen scrotum to make you appreciate the frailty of cordura...

Welcome to the club...

Washed.. hmmm nope. never have.
Will have to do some research.

Nikwax Tech Wash is specially developed for re-proofing cordura - just follow the instructions to the letter. You can follow it up with Nikwax TX Direct.

Another solution is to use the Scotchguard heavy duty canvas re-proofer (green can) from Mitre 10 or similar store. It's silicon-based and as such, it does attract dirt a bit but it certainly works. I'd try the Nikwax option first though.

Woah!
A Wet Scrotum??
Valentino Rossi always used to tug at the crotch of his leathers before every race...
Maybe he is incontinent and therefore suffers a similar state of discomfort. (Although his is self inflicted).

It drives ya nuts doesn't it..!
Cordura is not what it's made out to be in the wet. I'm back to leather and a rain suit which keeps me scroat in good order, perhaps a little sweaty, but dry...

My old Teknic cordura jacket leaked badly from the day I first had it. The Scotchguard solution pretty near fixed it. My current Arlen Ness jacket is much better but still leaks a bit in heavy rain. I'm like you and stick a plastic rain suit over the top if I want to stay perfectly dry on a long haul. I have a Spool 2 piece. Not very elegant but who cares as long as it does the job.

Polythene bag and a rubber band.

Place bag over genitalia and secure in place with the rubber band. Then put you undies on followed by you Cordura/Leather trousers.

No more cold wet scrote.

I would have said once you roll it down, strech it a little and tuck them in! That should keep them dry!

Never had that problem

Also, my so-called waterproof gore-tex gloves aren't

You're talking about condoms intcha? I always find there's a two inch gap at the base after I've rolled it all the way down.
