You could try this as well, it's good for treating breathable waders as well.

Re: Re-Proofing your weather gear
any 'good' outdoor or camping store carry all the watering proof stuff ye need...if ye going to spray Jackets/Suits...hang them in a garage/outhouse for few days to dry and use cord/string to keep arms/legs from sticking...well worth it

Re: Re-Proofing your weather gear
Use the Nikwax wash and the reproofer, DO NOT use normal detergent.
