When you take it on a tour, bring a rain cover to keep it dry. And put the rain cover on it every evening so it does not absorb any dew. Sounds like the proofide you put on it may be enough to keep it from absorbing any water, but using a rain cover does not hurt so I suggested that anyway. And inspect it frequently.
