Caring For
StormRepel® DWR Finish
The StormRepel® finish on your Eddie Bauer garment causes moisture to bead on the surface and roll off rather than soak into the fabric. We use two levels of StormRepel in our outerwear, with StormRepel DWR Pro being the most durable level of repellency, and StormRepel DWR being the most basic.
Durable Water-Repellent Finish (DWR)
Repels moisture so it doesn’t soak into fabric. Maintains a high level of water repellency, even with extensive use.

Every garment has specific care instructions unique to that style. These instructions can be found on the care label that’s sewn into the garment on the interior side seam. They are also included on our website’s selling page for the garment. In addition, the following general guidelines pertain to the StormRepel finish.
Secure all garment closures, including pockets, before laundering.
During machine washing, be sure your garment is rinsed thoroughly so that no soap residue is left in the down.
Tumble dry your garment using LOW HEAT.
Periodically washing and drying your garment on low heat can revive the StormRepel finish for a period of time.
When washing and drying on low heat no longer restores the water-repellency's beading action, you can re-apply a DWR finish to the exterior of the garment. There are a number of spray-on or wash-in DWR treatments available at many sporting goods stores. Many dry cleaners also offer DWR finish treatments.
Similar to car wax, all water-repellent finishes are TEMPORARY: Over time, through wear and tear, exposure to dirt, campfire smoke and other environmental impurities, the repellency of the finish will start to fail and water will stop beading on the surface.
