After washing the pants, we sprayed them while they were still wet, blotted off areas where the excess product had pooled with a damp towel, and then threw them in the machine dryer on low, though you can also let your items air-dry if needed. When trying the pants again, water beaded off them instead of soaking through in the spots where it was previously wetting out, and the breathability was again excellent. While I haven’t personally used this method, I read that some have satisfactory results. So, all you need to do is put your t-shirts in the washing machine and add Grangers Clothing Wash and Repel detergent. Many items require at least 24 to 48 hours of time to dry before you can use them again, so planning ahead before a big trip is crucial.

Other products in our excellent shirt range include the brilliant Saltash t-shirt with the Gill name front and centre. We also offer Helford polos for women, which is made with breathable pique fabric that helps the shirt remain lightweight, comfortable and suitable for active leisure use.A good cotton waterproofing spray can make your T-shirt water-repellent while maintaining fabric breathability. The good news is that you can use these sprays for denim as well. As you can see, apart from the obvious main advantage of being liquid repellent, a waterproof T-shirt is also stain-proof. And in some instances, you might find washing is all that’s necessary. Putting your waterproof clothing in the dryer can also help reactivate the DWR coating.

Some sprays contain perfluorochemicals (PFCs), a group of synthetic chemicals the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns remain in the environment—and in the human body—for years, so you’ll want to be especially careful using any of those, especially around pets and children. (Or just avoid them in general.) And aerosol sprayers, though they work well for consumers, also have a negative environmental impact. If you’re seeking to prevent those issues, choose a non-aerosol spray that doesn’t contain PFCs. So, there you have three solutions on how to make your T-shirt waterproof. If you’ve used other methods, share your ideas with the community in the comments below. Lastly, we considered the cost and environmental issues like aerosol and PFCs. We wanted to ensure we tested and considered sprays in a range of costs and included sprays that are easy on the planet and people using the product. This method worked best for me, and it’s actually my go-to method whenever I need to make my T-shirts waterproof.Before you waterproof an item, any item, an important note is this: Make sure it’s clean first. Dirt and oils leave residue on the surface of your gear, even if you can’t always see it. And use a detergent that won’t leave a residue since that can impede the waterproofing product from working. Most brands sell their own washes in addition to the sprays. Sprays give you the most control over the finished product since you’re applying the product yourself, and you can ensure it goes where you need it. Some gear you must spray because the item in question, such as a tent or a pair of hiking boots, can’t go in the washing machine.

If you’re concerned about changes to an item’s color or texture, spot-testing on a small area is always a good idea. The Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On, a non-aerosol product, was designed to help your waterproof and breathable outdoor wet-weather gear, including Gore-Tex items, return to a water-resistant state. That’s certainly what it did for our tester's favorite rain shell, which before testing was wetting out—absorbing water in patches, on the sleeves especially, and becoming heavy and clammy—on rainy hikes. Don’t forget to apply a coat of seam sealer on all of your T-shirt’s seams. Roll the sealer over the seams to ensure water can’t get inside through the seams. Beat the heat with our collection of fishing caps and hats. These are essential to protect you from harmful UV rays and keep your focus sharp.
