Whats happened to my jacket..??

[lee1980sim]

My jacket has developed dark patches on it, havent worn it during the summer months but commuting to work at 4am has become a tad nippy so got it out and I've noticed the dark patches (weirdly like sweat marks) and it also seems to have lost its waterproofing ability

Do I need a new Jacket?

Mildew/mold?

Washed using biological detergent?

You can get re water proofing sprays as well .

it was washed in Daz whatever that is biological or non I can never remember

Probably stripped the waterproof lair off, swmbo did the same with mine and that as patches on it, inside it looks like there is a lining that a peeled off in places. Played mary hell with her

Daz is biological hence the whiter than white advertising. Be bad for anything with lycra in too...as is fabric softener

Bugger new jacket required then best get looking cold weather ain't slowing down

Nikwax sell a techwash and re proofing detergent kit which I have used on my waterproofs & it has worked a treat. Worth a try, it's a lot cheaper than a new jacket.

I'll have a look and more than likely give it a whirl
