Persona 5 OST
does it work on a RTX 3090 TI?
lol
Is that a car
@@No__Vanity no, that's a computer thing
Pretty sure that’s a rare mini disc player only available on deep web..
Might need to respray dwr after
good thing that i don't have the money to buy a water-resistant jacket so i don't have to deal with washing it
You do
@@jordanasrukas4880 okbrowhatdoyoumeanbythat
@@cigany1 you have to wash your normal jacket to, do u trow it out when it gets dirty?
@@jordanasrukas4880 of course not,
Copped one from Ross for 20 bucks
make sure to dry on low as to not melt off the seam tape
At least someone in the comments actually said the probably most important part 😂
Why not just air dry?
@@casuallyworkedthe heat reactivates the DWR
Damn, how about just don't buy shitty plastic jackets?? It's bad for the environment.
😢 my jacket ruined
A YT short that’s actually helpful love to see it
I haven't seen one person mention turning the jacket inside out before you do that. If you like the finish and you like the logo, you better turn it inside out
Imo a lot garments actually have more friction being turned in on themselves . Proceed with caution
@@baby.nay. oh yeah, name a type of garment that has more friction turned inside out that you would have to be very careful with
@@Kevthebishuh, gore Tex with seam tapes? You would logically want the heavier nylon fabric designed to be against harsh conditions to be on the outside and the softer, more fragile seam tapes held with glue to not have as much friction, right?
i gotta do this before the ski season starts some of the dwr on my jacket needs reactivating
what sunglasses are these? i dig 'em

90 minutes to dry a waterproof jacket😮seams abit long
Quality content Antoinette
Dry in the sun is a no no isnt it ? It will ruin the synthetic materials faster ?
Hmm
Yo mans, what happens if I use regular Detergent, I know it messes up the Waterproofing but does it do anything irreversible?
Clogs the pores of your gortex jacket if it has fabric softener
Even if it was soaking wet it would dry quickly outside…
I’ve never once washed any rain gear and I’ve had 3 of them over 20 years. 2 Patagonias and a Mountain Hardware. All were 3-layer.. I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I’d clean the exterior from time to time with a wet rag but other than that they just stayed nice. I eventually upgraded each more due too I’ve gotten at least five years out of them and I can upgrade and give to worn wear and someone else can use them another decade.
Hey Antwon
I just found out about Techwear
Any suggestions on outfits
And accessories
What about puffer waterproof jackets?
Bro got the generic beko dryer every uk household has. It drys clothes tho so cant complain
Dude I've got the exact same washing machine
Can I do this a blue trapstar windbreaker?
would you say to wash the jackets 1 at a time or would multiple jackets in one wash be ok?
Maximum 4-5 articles of clothing
@@TheSmurfAcc thank you
Yeah I've done a couple before and it's been totally fine, so long as you're not overloading the machine (same with any other clothes) it's all good
Did I heard right 90 minutes inside dryer?
the reflective paragraph is slowly coming off my black alpine. I'm concerned if i should wash it again, haven't worn it in a while.
And don't dry in high heat. Had one and the tape welded seams came apart.
After the wash just put it on a 2nd spin
what is best Gore Tex pro "D" ?
WHEN NEW VIDEO?!
We have the same dryer
wait 600 hundred? was that supposed 6 hours or 600 minutes? seconds?
600 is the spin - I presume it's rpm but not totally sure. It's the second-lowest spin setting on my machine, with 400 being the lowest. There is a 'no spin' option but I've found doing that leaves the jacket totally soaked and they take forever in the dryer. The total time for the cycle was just under an hour
I love my Goretex
How do you clean nylon waterproof bags? Mine is color being and my dog put some dirt on it. I tried looking for videos online but I haven't found any. 😔
The same way. Might wanna throw it in a large mesh delicates bag before the wash.
I’m timing to go ATV ride on a MUD how does this goretex do? Anyone?
Works great you won’t have an issue
Hey
How do you get wrinkles and creases out of a goretex jacket?
Get a damp towel and put over the creases then iron over top , just quickly at a time don’t over do it , the heat helps reactivate the goretex water resistance as well , just be careful
Can you wash multiple goretex garments at the same time (wash) thanks
Yes no more than 3 items at a time don’t wash at the same time as down jackets they need a separate wash
can i blow dry it? don't have a drying machine and no sun in germany rn
That works perfectly fine !
Thanks for this video Anton. Any chance you could do a similar one for Etaproof/Dry Skin cargos?
