it did waterproof my soft shell feather coat, however, it did leave some spray marks on the fabric. Read more

I used this to recondition two pairs of rain pants that my daughter and I use for fishing. These pants see some tough use. They get covered with fish slime, and see significant wear from boat seats and general misuse. One pair is Eddie Bauer, the other is Wilson. Both outer coverings seem to be a fine thread count nylon-ish material. My daughter's in particular had areas in which water would "wet" the fabric very quickly. I note that both pairs tended to hold water in areas where there was soil accumulation on the fabric. I think the key to this product working well is that the garment needs to be cleaned well prior to application. AND dried in a tumble dryer after application. I washed the garments first 2x using Nikwax Tech Wash. By hand, doing a thorough wash and rinse. Never... ever... wring. Don't use regular liquid laundry detergent. I think you can use a mild powder detergent, but I'm not a wealthy guy and I wanted to be cautious with expensive rain gear, so I used Nikwax. After washing I put in the dryer on low to dry it 90% of the way, and then air dried. Once dry, I sprayed on a very liberal amount of the waterproofing. Wear gloves. Rub it into the surface, pay extra attention to seams. I did this outside, in an area in which the drippings would not stain concrete. I do mean "soak" the garments. I had small pools of whitish liquid on the surface. I let that sit for 5 minutes, allowing them a good soak and tossed them into the dryer. I tumble dried on low for about 20 minutes, then put them on hangers to breathe. The water shedding on the exterior of these pants is as it was when new. No signs of white stains, both pants are dark colored. We have a week long excursion coming up; it will be good to see how well this holds up. So far, I am impressed. Read more

Works well, but my jacket needed a new application after a few uses (skiing). Read more

This might be the most popular one in the market so I decided to give it a try. I choose the spray rather than wash-in format since that's what was suggested by the comment under one of Arc'teryx videos. It works really great and I can see the beaming effect again on my jacket, especially on the high-wear area like cuff and shoulder. The only thing I don't like is the smell - very chemical and stinky when spraying it so I'd recommend to do it outdoor. Luckily not much smell left after getting out from dryer. Read more

I was a little worried about this because there were some bad reviews. But this product worked really well for me. I have a black Fjalraven winter jacket made out a G 1000. I washed the jacket and it’s spun dry in the front load washer. Came out damp. I put the jacket on a coat hanger and soaked down the jacket. I smooth the product around with my hand to make sure it was even. I let it air dry for a while in the garage. Then tossed it in the dryer for a few minutes to finish drying. It does have a slight vinegar smell when it was wet. But when the product was dry, the smell went away. I used half the bottle so this one will do two extra large men’s jackets. Read more
