I have a Trespass jacket which is waterproof but has a padded interior. It has started to whiff a little and I would lik to clean it but Im scared itll lose its waterproofing. I have had a google and some say to wash a waterproof jacket on its own, inside out with a small amount of pwder. I have just called Trespass who said to wash it on its own, not to use powder but to use something called Nikwax Tech Wash?

Has anyone got any advice/experience?

    Nikwax for sure. You can get it from most outdoor/camping shops It will lose waterproofing to a degree even still. You can buy various sprays that will reproof to some degree or other. I use one which is very smelly and used for reproofing tents and the like. Can't recall the name off the top of my head but it is not mega expensive.

    Any suggestions on how else I could freshen up the padded bit inside? I doused it with frebreeze the other day and it was lovely smelling for about a day then it wore off :-(

    It should freshen up fine from the nikwax wash. I used to use it for my stables gear. If it makes that smell ok it makes anything smell ok!
