Isn't
Forever.
Salt, sun and spray strip the water-repellent finish off technical fabric. Wash it right, put the finish back, and a Quiver shell lasts seasons longer. Two bottles. Twice a year.

The routine
How to
Re-Proof.
One machine, two cycles, about ninety minutes start to finish.
Wash
Tech Wash on a warm cycle. No detergent, no fabric softener — both leave residue that kills water repellency.
Re-proof
TX.Direct straight into the next cycle while the shell is still wet. The finish bonds to the outer fabric, not the pores.
Repeat
When water stops beading on the shoulders, it's time. For regular use that's roughly twice a season.
