+1 for Nikwax.

Don’t worry, we’re a few years away from actually falling apart and replacing. I just like to check shit out. Nikwax is great.

Do you have experience with Goretex alternatives? Are there any you would recommend that are also as durable as Goretex?

They’re working on that. Wendy’s is reportedly replacing all menus with screens.
