Rain fly
My TNF fly has lost some of it's repellancy. Any ideas how I can restore that wonderful benefit...short of replacing?
Thx!

There are several water repellant sprays on the market that you could use.

Check out campmor or REI.

I just learned about Recoat from TTers. They have it in Campmor.

Do a search in this forum called "Is your tent really waterproof?" In that thread I explained how I tested and recoated a tent fly. If the coating is worn off you need to restore that first before you use a water repellent on the exterior side of the fly.
