I have the torrent 111 ridgeline jacket and found it's only waterproof in light showers with the material it is i dont know how you could make it fully waterproof to be honest unlike the old wax jackets.

Mine were good when new but got terrible now. Good job I carry a couple in the car ?

It works well on fishing flies, it was not designed for this but appears to work on all but CDC - no idea why! It was never...

Just ordered myself some tonight so I'll see how it works on my decathlon shooting coat when it arrives.

Anybody got any recommendations for a decent waterproofing? To be used on ridgeline jackets. Turns out the first decent morning of rain and there not as waterproof as I thought ???‍♂️

Tx direct wash waterproof by nikwax works and you can also get nikwax cleaner qnd they can be used in washing machines so no more hand washing ,I used it on my ridgeline smock and my torent jacket ,

I'm sure they few diffrent waterproof but tx direct works for me and easy to do

I've had a go at treating this decathlon jacket with the spray tonight, not worn it out in heavy rain yet to test it properly but the water I chucked on it came off faster than it went on so looks good so far.
