Durable water repellent, DWR issue
The jacket benefited me after washing it per the instructions - however the need for the washing was to rid the excess Durable water repellent, or DWR, the coating added to this jacket’s fabric at the factory to make it water-resistant ( hydrophobic). I suffered a minor rash around my eyes but it seems fine now that the jacket is laundered. As for fit and feel it’s perfect for the chilly temps and rainy winter here in the Bay Area.
