Both products will work to restore the DWR to the exterior of the ski jacket.
This may compromise the ability of the interior fabric to wick perspiration away from your skin, and may adversely impact garment breathability.
A wide variety of DWR products are available and, as of 2016, new DWR formulas are entering the market.

It’s worth noting that each type has its strengths and weaknesses, such as repelling oils and dirt very well, but water not as well or vice versa.
Something else to keep in mind is that the product you used previously may have had a change in the formula as a result of improved performance or environmental impact.
