Durable Water Repellent (DWR) is the invisible
barrier that helps your gear resist light rain, snow, and moisture — without
sacrificing breathability. At Elevenate, we use PFC-free DWR treatments on our
outerwear to ensure lasting performance in changing mountain conditions.
When you're on the move in unpredictable weather, your
gear needs to work with you. Durable Water Repellent finishes help keep the
outer fabric from becoming saturated, so your jacket or pants stay lighter,
drier, and more breathable. It’s the first line of defense in a well-built
layering system — and one that matters more than many realize.
Durable Water Repellent is a treatment applied to the
surface of technical fabrics that causes water to bead and roll off instead of
soaking in. While not the same as full waterproofing, a good DWR finish helps
maintain comfort and performance — especially when combined with waterproof
membranes like GORE-TEX® or Elevenate Performance Standard laminates.
Over time, dirt, wear, and repeated washing can reduce
the effectiveness of a DWR coating. That’s why reproofing and proper care
are key to maintaining your gear’s performance.
We believe in doing things the right way — for the
mountains and for the people who move through them. That’s why we’ve
transitioned to PFC-free DWR finishes that offer strong water resistance
without harmful environmental impact.
You’ll find DWR treatments on many of our most-used
layers:
Each garment is tested to meet our high standards for weather
protection, breathability, and long-term durability, without compromising
on comfort or sustainability.
A well-maintained DWR finish can extend the life of
your gear and keep you dry longer. Here’s how to take care of it:

Whether you're skiing steep lines, navigating
rain-soaked trails or just commuting in winter weather, DWR is a small detail
that makes a big difference. It keeps your gear performing longer, so you can
keep exploring further.
