Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
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

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

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

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
