There are big changes happening in the world of waterproofs . They're a long time coming and are great news for the environment BUT we will all need to learn how to use and maintain the new technologies.

In this final part of three "waterproof special" podcasts, Cathy and Wayne are joined by Tim Francis Regional Trainer and Account Manager for Grangers International, to discuss why new waterproof fabrics will need to be washed and re-proofed more frequently than older garments and how you can do this simply and easily at home.

As technical garment users, we all need to better understand why these changes are needed, how they will impact our time in the hills and why we will need to wash and re-proof our waterproof garments more regularly.

There is a world of science in your waterproof jacket - we're here to help you understand it.
