Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It's the same stuff they sell at rei but for a much better price (sorry rei) seemed to bead water quite well. Durability depends on how much you use your equipment. After drying, all of them shed water really well.

Both the wash and waterproofing are easy to use and produce visible improvement. Both nylon coats are softer feeling, more supple, and water rolls right off. Restored the waterproofing on all my gear.



Cons

The outer shell is 100% nylon. Remove all detergent from detergent dispenser. It leaves a strong odor and you probably have to keep buying the soap.

Quality


The products worked perfectly on a gortex head ali jacket that had not been washed in 25 years


Easy directions restored quality with one use


There were no unpleasantries like you have with spray on water repellent like chemical smell or making the garment feel heavy


Washing gear every once in a blue moon is a good idea

Price


Remember its surely cheaper then buying a new jacket or any sports items


Still pricey but at least i can wash more than 3 articles now


A little on the expensive side but my outdoor research rain jacket cost about 200

Shipping


I am taking a trip in a few days and hope it does the job

    This may be something you might want to watch out for if you are protecting dark colored items


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    From the pictures you can see that it is black and after washing it in tech wash then washing with the protective tx direct light stains were left on the garment


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I called nikwax about this and the representative stated that this can occure when the fabric is saturated with product


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    These stains will not just wipe off and the nikwax representative said only with light abrasion will they come off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They offered to send me more product free because the only way to recover the original color was to wash the suit again with normal detergent to remove the water repelent coating and begin the process again


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I could not accepth their offer for time constraints on my part
