Review: Works Great in a Bucket!! - I had a few older North Face Hyvent shells to treat. I live here on the PNW coast of WA, so I need good performing rainwear as I trail run in the rain a few times a week. I had used the scotch guard spray in the past but still got so wet through in spots.....So this product.. I used a 5 gallon bucket with 2 gallons of water in it to make it really concentrated...poured in the entire bottle and stirred it up. I then put my two coats into the mix and made sure all was wet and covered. I let them sit for about an hour and then drained the excess water back into the bucket to reuse for two more coats. That bottle treated 4 items for me. They hung outside for about 2 hours to get rid of the dripping water, then a quick spin in the washer(no water just a spin cycle) to remove a little more water and then they went into the dryer on low for abut 30 minutes. I did not wat to over dry them in the dryer so then I took the slightly damp coats out and let them dry totally in my basement x1 day with a fan blowing on them. No smell from not doing a water rinse and they now shed water like they were new. Much easier than putting them in the washer I think. It takes a little effort and time but it was money well spent. btw I did not pre wash them with the Nikwax. They were pretty clean, no mud but a few dirty spots. I did not care if they looked brand new, just worked in the rain. These were used coats I got online for $30 each...used to be $$250 shells new...and they were 20 plus years old. I wear them 5 days a week when I am on a trail run with a pack. Final verdict is Nikwax is easier than scotch guard, better coverage, no smell, and works out to about $4 per coat....a pretty good deal.
Review: Works almost too well! even my hands became waterproof - I bought TX.Direct to revive a few old rain jackets, and honestly, I didn’t expect much. Instead of using a washing machine, I went full caveman mode and soaked three jackets in a big bucket with about 135 ml of the product and 6–7 liters of water. Not exactly the recommended method, but wow… it worked. All three jackets came out beading water like brand-new high-end shells. The funny part? After stirring everything by hand, my hands started repelling water too. I’m not joking - the droplets were literally rolling off my skin. That’s how effective this stuff is. So yes, the product absolutely does what it promises. Even when used in the least professional way possible. Highly recommended. Just maybe… use gloves.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good water repellency, good, but not great, durability/longevity.
*by C***S on June 1, 2024*

This is a good product, and easy to use. You do need to do a couple of extra steps to make it bond better. The same as with any and every wash in. After you wash your clothing or pack or tarp, use a couple extra rinses. Then maybe do a couple more, or even just the machine itself. Almost every washer has a small amount of water pooled in it from the last wash. You want to ensure that there is no detergent residue left in the machine or it will make the product less effective. Use a soak cycle if your machine has it, and also if there is an option, lower than normal water level. Just enough to cover your items being treated. A single rinse. Then machine dry on medium if your items can handle it. It's good for helping your waterproof breathable clothing from having the outer lay "wet out," which blocks water vapor from passing through, and it can be used to make a nylon jacket or pack able to withstand light rain for short periods of time.
