I thought that the waterproofing was in the material it's made from? Anyway, BMW do a re-proofing spray for textile and leather clothing. As it's a BMW suit, perhaps theirs is the best bet.

Or you can use pure soap to wash first and then reproof it with either of the above. Grangers might even offer a one wash wash and cleaner now, though I tend to use Nikwax. I find the wash in reproofers better than the spray on ones. These people offer reproofing on their web site though I've not used it. Might be worth a call. http://www.tundra-repairs.co.uk/index.php Cheers

Click to expand... Lancashire Sports Repairs did a couple of minor repairs on a 15 year old Rukka suit (velcro and a small tear at a button) for me. They also cleaned and did a re-treatment of the jacket and troos. http://www.lancashiresportsrepairs.co.uk/motor_cycle_clothing_repairs.htm Good job
