Waterproofing a jacket?

I have my favorite jacket from like two years ago. It is awesome except for the fact that it is only water resistant and not waterproof. Does anyone have a reason why I wouldn't be able to scotchguard the jacket to make it a little more waterproof?

 
scotch guard as in tape or am I just making myself the biggest fool on NS ?

Or scotch guard as in some spray?

fuck breathability, thats why you have pit vents, does it really work tho and how long does it last for?

um. water resistant should be enough to cover you unless you spend an inordinate amount of time on your back in the snow. or its raining.

ITs not raining but whenever I hit up a powder day or get snowed on, the snow that sticks melts and my jacket gets soaked. I might by some, and spray it on a section on my back or something and see if it works/ makes the jacket look funny. Thats a great idea about the gloves though.

 
For the gloves would you just completely cover them with this stuff?

it would be cool if they just put a rubber liner in the coat to make it like 100 percent water proof. they probabaly already do though

is the spray actually water proof, how does it work, cause i thought that the only possible way to have something waterproof is with the material

it doesn't really do anything to make the jacket look funny, and it works pretty well, although yeah, the breathability might lessen a bit.

bhill, you're the man, that was pretty bad, haha

^^^they could do that , but then the jacket would not breathe AT ALL, which will get you just as wet as rain. believe me, there's a reason jackets arent just completely waterproof

There is no way that it would take away ALL the breathability, after all it is only a spray. I guess the only way is to try it.

 
yeah the reason why they're not waterproof is because at night i took your jackets and took out a layer that i had to use for clothing in the winter 'native'

 
al, i dont believe native posted in this thread, so that would make you a stupid dumbass

nikwax is only a durable water repellent coating. It doesn't make your shit waterproof, it only makes water bead on it.

Bahahaha... or, you could call it the 'elitist snob' cult. Anyways, my family already owns a country club, so no thanks.

^it also comes in liquid form for jackets and pants. You wash it in using the laundry thing that you'll never be able to use as well as your mom, no matter how hard you try.

A spray-on version exists as well.
