What do you do for waterproofing?

[Pedro]

I'm curious as to how you guys clean or treat your jackets and pants to keep them waterproof.

I have had poor luck with it so far, but I think the sun and dryness affect the stuff I wear a little more than you guys.

Most of the time I ride in jeans and a non waterproof jacket, in this case I always carry rain overalls. However, in winter it's nice to have a jacket that can deal with rain without bothering with the overalls.

Even in winter, only when it looks like proper rain and cold do I prefer to have proper textile pants instead of jeans.

If you got the cash get a Jacket and trousers with a Gortex liner.    Near perfectly waterproof bu pretty spendy.    I have a Richa textile jacket and trousers with a D3O or some list of letters like that liner and I have never got wet in it.   My leather isn’t very waterproof at all neither are the two wax cotton jackets I have.     Bike jeans obviously not.      I also have single layer romper like rain suit Richa brand and that is a leaky bastard good at stopping wind though.
