ok, so i have some nice pants (sepia embargoo) with 15k waterproofing and was wondering what teh deal is with washing them. I know there are directions inside the pants, but i wanted to see what your opinion on this was. I have used them about 4 times now, all day long each time, each time getting the interior of the pants a little sweaty. So I am guessing it is about time for a good wash, but what is the best way to wash it, becuase washing it the way it told me, it said to spray on some more waterproofing afterwards or something like that. so whats the deal with getting these bad boys clean? thanks!

This stuff is for washing clothing with waterproofing. Nikwax Tech Wash from Dogfunk.com
And this spray is for renewing waterproofing. Nikwax TX-Direct Spray-On from Dogfunk.com . I have a wash-in version that I use on my gear once in a while. But usually I just wash jackets and pants on the delicate cycle with no detergent.

I'd also go with both the Nikwax Tech wash and the TX-Direct Spray On. You can get them online or at camping/sporting goods stores. The wash is made for stuff with Gortex in it and the TX-Direct sprays on after the washer and before the dryer. Coat the wet pants really well, then after a few minutes (I think the directions say five) wipe off the excess. I usually let them air dry but you can throw them in the dryer after the Direct Spray has absorbed. The stuff is expensive but you'll stay totally dry while boarding.
