Nikwax TX.Direct Spray-On Waterproofing, 500ml, High Performance Waterproofing Renewal Treatment Restores DWR Water Repellency in Jackets, Outerwear, Rain, Ski and Snow Gear

This product is the REAL deal. I work outside in all sorts of rainy, wet weather. My raincoats and shoes had lost their rainproof abilities so I bought this. Washed coats thoroughly in washer, left damp as instructed, sprayed the diluted solution on really well and hung to dry. Scrubbed rain/hiking boots well with soapy solution and rinsed. Applied dilution soaking them well. Let air dry. All items are perfect!!!! So very happy. I did not know that the water repellent qualities deteriorate over time. Now they are like new and have kept me dry and happy. Can’t recommend this enough. Just remember if it wasn’t waterproofed to begin with, you won’t make it waterproof just by using this product (so you cannot waterproof a sweater, for example). I love this stuff. Economical too. Big bottle!

Easy way to waterproof your items and jacket. I used it on shoes and hats and jackets and bags just to give a little extra waterproofing and seems to do really well! No residue or streaks.

works great

I’m told this is a great product unfortunately it would not work for me, my shower pass cycling raincoat is just too old and gone through too many laundry cycle, would not accept repellent, which I am very sad, however, everything that I’ve read on the Internet. I went through the procedure multiple times the cleaning and treatment, unfortunately would not work.. so I bought a new jacket off Amazon for a fraction of the price of the shower pass. Hopefully it will do the job for me.. lesson learned! Do not over launder your raincoat.

I've tried several of the alternatives to Nikwax products and every single time I keep coming back. Although I have probably a half dozen stories to tell about my experience, I only need to relay one fairly recent story to tell you why I trust this (and the other Nixwax products) for most of my waterproof gear. In 2014, we set out for a month long road trip to Alaska in the middle of summer, planning to tent it all the way up and back. Unbeknownst to us, we made the trek in the wettest summer that pretty much everyone alive could possibly remember, it was wet! For 30 days straight, it rained 27 of them. This wasn't your average drip-a-bit then blow over type of rain. No. It was torrential downfall followed by a downpour followed by a steady drench thereafter. It was an unreal bout of rain, like we were living in a rain cloud for a month. All my gear, including my tent, footprint, rain fly and gear's duffel bags were treated with this stuff or other Nikwax products. It's never a cheap preparation, but in hindsight, it's always worth every penny. Night after night, my aging camping gear and waterproof clothing were pounded from all sides with unrelenting rain, put away wet only to be brought out into more wet. What little breaks in the weather we could get usually dried things out just enough to get wet again a few hours later. We could barely get a break, except for maybe once every 8-10 days or maybe a lucky clearing during setup or teardown of camp. The point? We stayed mostly dry. Our clothes, our sleeping gear, our camp gear. Dry, all of it. Every night. Every storm. It kept one pretty lady awfully happy, and that's no easy feat faced with constant rain! To be certain, some of it was probably technique as I cut my teeth camping in Oregon where you learn how to deal with rain well before you can afford technical preparations. But from one rain master to another, the secret to maintaining technical gear for whatever gets thrown at you is Nikwax. Bottom line, it's proven itself to be my trusted waterproofing material and probably always will be. Is it perfect? No, it's not going to make Goretex out of nylon no matter how you slice it...but it'll be better than pure nylon, for sure. Does it help? Without a doubt. When your gear is starting to see it's age, will it revive it enough to keep it going? Yes, and my 20+ year old used and abused Cascade Designs tent that I'd take anywhere, anytime proves it. Do you need to augment your preparations for rain otherwise? That's probably a good idea, at a minimum a solid seam seal on all rainfly seams and liberal use of tarps, when needed. I've used this stuff for years and that's only the latest reason I keep coming back for more.

I had read the reviews so I came in pretty skeptical but wanted to try because I love the jacket so much Followed instructions excruciatingly closely: washed, application, drying. Used the entire 10 oz bottle on that one jacket, 2 separate applications after I wasn't pleased with the results of the first It definitely *improved* the water resistance, but while water beads initially, within less than a minute it starts soaking in to the material. Even being in the lightest of mists for 15 minutes resulted in a heavy water-laden jacket. And this was a jacket that could take hours in heavy rain with no absorption at all when new. From reading the reviews of competitive products, they all seem to suffer from this same problem. Is there a way to actually restore a jacket to like new condition??

I treated some older KUIU jackets with this and it brought the DWR back to life. Works great for outdoor clothing — especially useful for our wet spring weather. Very good quality product I’d definitely buy again.

Works as advertised. There is a slightly off odor when applying, but that went away once it dried. There is enough product in this bottle to cover a lot of garments.

Removed one star for the inherent odour!

Does what it says on the bottle, used it on patio furniture covers, and works as it should so all good

Fue muy rápido el envío y el líquido le ha dado una segunda vida a mi chamarra

The Nikwax TX. Direct Spray-On Waterproofing is excellent for revitalizing the properties of your gore tex clothing. Very easy to apply after washing the garments with Nikwax Tech Wash. Nikwax also has an all in one product that both washes and re-waterproofs gore tex garments. However, I've always been an advocate for products that do one thing VERY WELL instead of a combination of things OKAY. That's why I prefer to use a combination of the Nikwax Tech Wash and the spray on waterproofing separately. Furthermore, using the separate spray on waterproofing allows direct application of the product to specific areas of the garment that tend to get wet or exposed to damp/wet more often.
