Has anyone used this on horse blankets - the turn-out kind - to improve water repellency? Can it be used on nylon and polyester?
Thanks, Aine

I use it on all kind of fabrics from cotton to nylon and more. if the fabric was waterproof wene u buy it. it will make waterproof a gaine. if not it will make it weather resistant. BUT if you wash the fabric with a simple soap the weater risistant/proof will go for good!

I've never used Tent & Gear Proof on a horse blanket but as long as the weave is really tight, it could improve the weather resistant properties. This product is designed more for coated, non-breathable finishes. Here's what Nikwax claims, this product is best used on "All weatherproof textiles including tents, awnings, marquees, rucksacks, panniers and camera bags." I've used it extensively, with outstanding results, on older tents where the original coated fabric has been compromised by age & weathering. As long as you adhere to the manufacturer's directions, it should work fine on nylon & polyester. Nikwax has added "Solarproof" UV protection to their newest generation product.
