Our Verdict
The Storm Apparel Care Kit combines a wash and proofer in one straightforward process, designed for synthetic and cotton outerwear. It’s an effective, low-impact way to remove dirt and restore durable water repellency while saving time, water, and energy. Regularly washing and reproofing technical clothing maintains breathability, prolongs fabric life, and reduces waste by keeping gear performing as intended for longer. I found the treatment left fabrics soft and clean-feeling, with revived water beading on exposed panels. The PFC, PFAS, and PFOA-free formulation supports sustainability goals while remaining gentle on performance membranes. It’s less suited to heavy staining but ideal for routine maintenance between deeper cleans. For heavily used jackets, a follow-up spray on high-wear areas such as shoulders and cuffs ensures consistent protection.
