 ### MSRP: $13 for 10 oz (300 ml) bottle
               $35.25 for 1 L (33.8 oz) bottle ###
 Edit: I think this is a spot in which you may, if you wish, delete the Imperial conversion of 1L.
 

 ### but when our Gore-Tex jackets started to have the same problem, I was hesitant to just buy new even more expensive gear.  ###
 EDIT: GORE-TEX [All caps. That's how Gore has trademarked it and how it should be used.]
 

 ### I wash the raingear more often whenever there is any sign of dirt using Nikwax Tech Wash but that's the subject of another Owner Review. ### 
 Comment: Are you aware that most DWR treatments, including GORE-TEX and eVent, work better with frequent washings? Many of these garments now have "Wash Me Often" on the hangtag. Seems counterintuitive but washing keeps the pores open.
 

 ### Since my clothing tags say to wash in cold water, I prefer to take the safe route and use cold water instead. ###
 
 Comment: Smart. Very smart.
