Outdoor adventures are exhilarating, but there's one thing you need to get right: keeping your gear dry. Whether it's your rain coat, hiking pants, or shell jacket, outdoor gear is built to brave the elements — but even the toughest materials can lose their water-repellent properties over time due to wear & tear, dirt, or frequent washing. Without proper water resistance, your gear can quickly become uncomfortable, affecting your performance in the field, diminishing its lifespan, and your adventures.
Luckily, BIORESTORE Water Seal offers a solution that restores the water-repellent functionality of your gear, without compromising the fabric's breathability or handfeel. Whether you're gearing up for a hike, a weekend camping trip, a day in the rain, or a wet walk to school, BIORESTORE Water Seal ensures that you and your outdoor gear stay dry & protected.
Why It Works:
BIORESTORE Water Seal is designed for outdoor gear made of synthetic textiles like Gore-Tex, softshells, and technical fabrics, as well as everyday rainwear. Unlike traditional water repellents that can leave a stiff coating or residue, BIORESTORE Water Seal creates a durable yet breathable hydrophobic barrier, preventing water from soaking into your gear while allowing sweat to escape. BIORESTORE Water Seal is PFAS-free and eco-friendly, aligning with global health & sustainability standards, remaining 1 step ahead of the PFAS regulations across the EU and US, it offers peace of mind for the well-being of both people and the planet."
Step-by-Step Guide:
-
Pre-clean the Garment:
Before applying BIORESTORE Water Seal, it's important to remove dirt, grime, and detergent residues from your gear. Use a gentle laundry detergent to ensure a clean surface without compromising fabric integrity. Wash your gear thoroughly and make sure it’s completely dry before proceeding with the application of BIORESTORE Water Seal.
-
Add Sachets A & B to the Washing Machine:
BIORESTORE Water Seal comes in pre-dosed separate sachets — Sachet A, an Activator, and Sachet B, a Binder. Simply add 1 of each sachet into the main detergent compartment of your washing machine before starting the wash cycle. Utilizing both A & B sachets ensures the two components combine, effectively activating the hydrophobic water barrier while also binding it to the surface of the textiles for long-lasting water repellency. Please note: It's essential to use both sachets for the optimal performance of the treatment BIORESTORE Water Seal treatment.

Wash and Activate:
Set your washing machine to a 40°C, 60-minute cycle, press start, grab a coffee, and plan your next adventure.
-
Dry Properly:
After the wash cycle is complete, tumble dry your gear on a medium heat setting. The heat is the final activation and curing process of the protective water-repellent coating, ensuring long-lasting protection with BIORESTORE Water Seal. Avoid air drying, as it will not activate the seal as effectively.
Highlighting Versatility:
BIORESTORE Water Seal works on a wide variety of outdoor gear, from shell jackets, raincoats, shackets, hiking pants, and headwear. What sets it apart from other available alternatives is that it does not leave any unwanted stiffness or residue on your gear, maintains the fabric's original hand feel and breathability, whilst offering robust protection against the rain.
Realistic Expectations:
One treatment of BIORESTORE Water Seal provides long-lasting water repellency. However, reapplication may be needed after several washes or heavy use. If your gear has been exposed to intense conditions, such as heavy rainstorms or frequent outdoor activities, reapply the treatment to maintain optimal performance
Encouraging Sustainability:
By restoring the functionality of your outdoor gear instead of replacing it, you're not only saving money but also contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle. Extending the life of your equipment reduces waste and lessens the environmental impact of manufacturing new gear.
