The decrease in test scores appears to indicate that the water repellency has washed away. In reality, the chemical residue of the other detergents has coated the fabric enabling water to stick and penetrate the outer lining. We know […]

Read MoreThe ASTM D-1913 Water Spray Test indicates what performance could be expected for one minute of rain exposure. A pattern of rain can easily take an hour to pass.
