    • Lay your jacket on a table or other flat, smooth surface.

    • Spray the jacket with water.

    • It can be beneficial to focus the spray on a high-exposure area like the shoulders and sleeves, where the DWR is more likely to be worn away.

    • If the water beads up, staying on the outside of the garment like dew drops, your jacket's DWR is working well and doesn't need to be reapplied.

    • Water droplets should roll right off the jacket when you pick it up.
