To reproof it after it's been washed.
Cool free gift if you ask me, though it's probably more a marketing technique, as you'd be more likely to buy Grangers products afterwards (Assuming you'd not come across re-proofers before)...

Grangers or Nikwax being the main choices for re-proofing.

Nope they are really good, you can tell if your coat isn't so waterproof as the water should "bead" on the top, if you wash it with re-proofer it does work.
