While we're on the topic, I went to the renowned Din Tai Fung dumpling house for my first time today. The sesame buns were amazing, as was the wonton soup. Service was excellent. Fortunately...

Long lasting DWR? Huh. I love the Houdini, but I couldn't testify to it even having a DWR. Seems to wet-out in light rain or from brushing against wet vegetation awfully quick to me...but th...

Re: Except I really am looking for the negatives...
"And right now, other than my poor CharlieDog, I can't find a good reason not to do it." Why should you give any credibility to someone else's reason not to do it?
