It's never been washed but has had the main zipper replaced. You make it sound so simple that I think I will wash it on the first warm day.<br /><br />And apply some NikWax in hopes of restoring some water repellency.<br /><br />steveSteve Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04540977884513559091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457055405703365212.post-17255225320907414612011-03-06T14:40:23.325-08:002011-03-06T14:40:23.325-08:00Roger,

I hope you're doing okay - it sounds like you are with your steady exercise program.<br /><br />I should have waved to the SUV lady. I generally wave to kids but not adults. :-) Take care!Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11946652999166458805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457055405703365212.post-77124732939603881942011-03-05T21:12:32.982-08:002011-03-05T21:12:32.982-08:00+1 on the Nixwax stuff.

I need to make an appointment for the one year checkup after my own little bout with cancer.

He was a student there in a certain program that lasted from Feb. to December. He really likes it there.<br /><br />I just checked out Nikwax online. I'll have to check it out further, it looks like good stuff.

Have found Nikwax TX.Direct to be excellent. Link here to instructions. There may be other stuff on the market, but this is what I've stuck with.<br /><br />Congrats again on the fantastic news!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.com
