Wow, I forgot. Wash it frequently, drain that sweat and filth and make it breathe again.

Very good call, liquid only for anyone who's reading.

AND DONT THROW IT IN THE DRYER.

Powder only. All clothing labels say powdered and so did a Gore-Tex rep I spoke to once. Low dryer is fine too.

powder clogs the pores of the membrane and there goes your breathability. this is true from experience and people I've talked to

I am not sure about eVent or other 3L fabrics, but Gore has their washing instructions listed on their website.
