Usually when mine start to wick, I strip them first. I had more of a problem when I was using Tide. Awhile back I switched. I use SportWash (which I believe is the same thing as SensiClean) and eucalytus oil and never seem to have problems.
Have you stripped?
I know my bottle of SportWash says something about helping the fleece and waterproof items retain that...mmm, I need to go check exactly. GL--it stinks when they repel
