Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof
October 14, 2009
I actually own an Osprey pack so thats good to know, thanks!
My other concern is regarding their application procedure. Looks like they say to apply from the inside? The inside of my pack sees a lot of action: books, notebooks, laptop in and out about a dozen times per day throughout the week.
I'm wondering if all this friction will wear down the water repellent coat quickly? Does it work just as well if the coating was applied to the outside instead?

Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof
October 13, 2009
I'm looking to do away with umbrellas, permanently. I've already got the outerwear covered (mostly Gore-Tex) but I still need a solution for my backpack (carries overpriced college books, and a laptop most of the time).
Does anyone have experience with using this water repellent on packs? how effective is it and if it goes a long period without getting wet (no rain) does the coating dry up and flake off? (or in general become less effective?)
