cheap dwr spray?

[wildwanderer]

I only paid $30 for the pants so bit reluctant to spend $20 on a dwr respray.

Any cheap sources for dwr spray?

Unless you are going to the snow I wouldn't bother. Any scrub quickly abrades the dwr off pants - jackets generally receive less abrasion. If it is important just use a cheap silicone spray.

Sometimes you can find it in bulk bottles from the uk pretty cheap. But then it's a couple hundred bucks for the bulk pack.

If it is important just use a cheap silicone spray.

Is a back pocket area that has non taped seams. Let in a bit of water last time.

Something like this?

Hmm says lubricant.. wonder if I should spray on my knees as well.

No. Thats for metals etc - similar to WD40.

I think my wife has sometimes used this on joggers or porous/breathable trail runners on the rare occasion that she does any bushwalking.

But getting any useful feedback is like getting blood out of a stone. So I don't know how effective or long lasting but it's cheap, so might be worth a shot and just spot treat the area of concern.

There is also this but it's unclear if suitable for fabrics:
