Question: is the Gortex Suppressant just as waterproof as the original Gortex? Also, I know some have mentioned that the gortex suppressant will not loose its scent absorbant ability with washing the garment. I do not own the the suppressant by Gortex, however, I have noticed that the original gortex does loose some of its waterproof abilities with washing. For that reason, I limit my use of gortex to only soaking raining days. And only wash it maybe once or twice at the most per season.
