Re-freshed my waterproof jacket
This was a super easy way to extend the life of my rain jacket and rain pants. Water is noticably more repellant after treatment! I di not use the wash beforehand, and it still worked well.

It works!
I’ve used this on all of my DWR dependent outdoor gear and it does pretty well. I’ve followed the directions on the bottle and it works. It does have to be reapplied after a while but that come with the territory for most products nowadays. I have recommended this product to friend and family. The only thing it lacks is how long it lasts compared to the original coating on an item so I give it a 4/5.

Keep your tent performing at its best
I just spent four very rainy days backpacking in New Hampshire’s White Mountains and realized that my tent was not as waterproof as it used to be. A lot of my stuff got wet. After returning to my home in Chicago, I decided to go out to the park and treat my tent with Nikwax Solarwash and Solarproof. While I was cleaning off the Solarproof with a wet rag I noticed that the water was beading off of the rainfly again. My tent now seems just like when I bought it. I highly recommend these products to anyone looking to keep their expensive gear performing like new. Thanks Nikwax!

Stupidproof waterproofing system
Who knew there was a specific cleaner for waterproofing gear??? This stuff is awesome, just throw your stuff in the laundry, and instantly renew the repellency in 1 wash. I've used this on a bunch of my military gear, from my Goretex jacket and pants, to even washing my 1 man tent in preparation for an upcoming wet field exercise. I've also used it to restore my Froggtoggs rain gear, and it went from getting me soaked to beading off water like a ducks back. I highly recommend this to all my junior troops, peers and friends to try out. Quite literally the easiest way to waterproof your stuff

Easy & Essential
I've had my MSR for 10+ years with above average use. All the seam seal tape has since flaked away. This helped keep my tent waterproof and me dry. 100% recommend
