er . . . . I know this isn't a BIKE question, but this is probably the best place to ask!

Went out in my nice new Macna jacket at the weekend - OK so I didn't have the waterproof lining in it - but I got SOAKED to the skin! The thing leaked like a sieve!

I thought it'd be thoroughly waterproof for the price I paid (NZ$650).
Sure looks nice, but if this is how it's going to behave in the wet, think I'll sell it off and buy a cheaper one!

Can anyone recommend a waterproof spray/sealer which might help without damaging the jacket?

(I know I'm gonna regret asking this . . . . . go on - I can take it!)

Thankx,
Steve

steevg,
if it leaks that bad I doubt you will seal it up properly.

I wear an Arlen Ness "All weather" cordura jacket it is 100% waterproof (I tested in in NZ for almost 3 years) and is very well armoured. I paid $199.00 on special from Motomail in Auckland 6 years ago.
