If the outer fabric absorbs water, the garment can lose up to 70% of its breathability. Therefore, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) on the outer fabric of your softshell jacket must be maintained to ensure comfort. It will eventually wear off and need to be renewed with Nikwax SoftShell Proof\u003csup\u003e™\u003c\/sup\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch5\u003eSoftshells provide versatility...\u003c\/h5\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSoftshell fabrics combine desirable properties of hardshells and fleeces to improve user comfort while providing protection in most conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoftshells are breathable and stretchy while also being highly water and wind repellent. They fit the shape of the wearer, allow the movement of moisture away from the body and at the same time they shed water and protect against wind chill. Softshells provide a versatile outer layer that can cope with most conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo maintain their water repellency and breathability it is essential that the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating is maintained.

First, try cleaning it with Nikwax Tech Wash®, and if it is fairly new, or recently re-waterproofed, the Durable Water Repellency (DWR) will be revitalized just from cleaning.
