My V1 brolly is well over five years old now and seen some awfully bad weather on a big wind swept pit.

I have never reproofed it yet. Only ever washed it with warm water. It's still beading fine.

Cheers OG. Will try a clean down 1st. Inside was very wet and assumed it was too much to be condensation. Rarely have unit fully enclosed so there's a steady circulation of air.
BTW.. Seen a couple of interesting contributions on a certain cooking page elsewhere

I dont understand why this would need reproofing already ?
are you sure its leaking and not just condensation ? often a good clean with plain warm water restores the beading properties if its muddy and dirty as these types of modern coated fabrics will easily last 10 plus years if kept clean and not packed away wet

Gold has a 5 x higher silicone content as I understand, if the proofing hasn't been neglected you could possibly get away with original?
