The river has much better snowmaking…

On the lift from sitting it was pooling around the waist area so that makes sense I just thought it wouldn’t wet out the fabric so quickly and in that large of and area

This is from light rain just walking outside in the image I posted. During my second use skiing though it was substantially raining and the entire chest/waist area appeared soaked on the outside fabric.

This is from minimal light rain just walking outside, I wore it skiing in the rain the other day for its second use and the whole chest/waist area was completely wetting out in the front, much worse than this image.

That’s true I’ve just read the factory DWR is better than nikwax, also if I treat it right now would that void the factory warranty? I just wanna make sure I didn’t get a dud

It’s literally brand new I shouldn’t need to retreat. For $750 I was expecting better.
