Waterproof Outerwear
Your Eddie Bauer waterproof garment is the result of over 100 years spent outfitting adventures in rain country, and is built to provide you with superior performance in wet weather for many years to come. We use two standard levels of waterproof/breathable technology in our outerwear: WeatherEdge® Pro and WeatherEdge®. WeatherEdge Pro is our most advanced technology and WeatherEdge is the most basic.

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.
Your garment has two primary weatherproofing technologies: an interior waterproof/breathable laminate or coating membrane that prevents water from penetrating the fabric; and an exterior durable water-repellent (DWR) finish that causes moisture to bead on the surface and roll off. The efficiency of both these technologies is preserved, and the DWR can be revived, by periodic washing and drying.
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.

At the end of the cold-weather season, store your down garment loosely in a closet or chest. If covered, use a breathable fabric such as cotton or mesh. Do not store your down garment in a compressed form, and do not place it in a plastic box or bag. Plastic doesn’t breathe, and this can damage the down.
