Reproofing is not working.

Hi!

I made a post back a few months ago regarding reproofing my jacket. I’ve been trying to reproof it thrice since then but it really doesn’t work. It’s a Beta LT for reference bought in September 2023.

I’ve used Organotexs techwashing detergent & their repellent according to the instructions. I can probably repeat word for word what the instructions from Recare video from Arc’teryx are.

It still doesn’t bead water. It can take some of the water off but not without leaving a larger trace. Of course I’m still waterproof inside (thank god for that) but it made my ski season miserable. Honestly I can’t remember if this jacket has ever really beaded water.

Is there anything I’m doing wrong? I’m washing it thoroughly, then drying it on medium heat, then reproofing it and then drying it again. It still doesn’t work. I’m wondering if I’ve just received a faulty membrane.

Wondering if this is something that could be fixed? Is my jacket inherently faulty? Really contemplating just going to authorized goretex dealership and reproofing it.

Thanks in advance!
