So it would seem my winter jacket and trousers have lost a little of its waterproofness (made up word but you know what I mean)...been looking at some waterproof spray recently cos my fishing umbrella could do with a recoat....so I am thinking is there anything you guys have used or could recommend. Looking for something that will do my biking gear and my brolly. There are quite a few at my local Towsure an Go Outdoors that cost less than a tenner each...but recommendations are always better.

Nikwax in one of its various forms, I redo my winter mountaineering kit in it. Lots of different types depending on the material your kit is made from.
Really....that doesn't sound good tbh.
I had seen that nikwax stuff, amongst others, think I shall avoid the one that advertises itself as tent and awning spray though

its been years since i used it,i cant remember if it was nikwax or another brand but it smelt of paraffin,best to test on a small area first

Are you sure? That sounds more like wax for a wax jacket, I don't think thats the same stuff we'd use on our gore-tex kit.
