as promised...but....

it works as described... i wash with no detergent or techwash, take it (my northface apex softshell) right out after the spin cycle is finished... and while still damp wet, spray the whole jacket once to twice with 30 minute intervals in between and then dry it for 15 mins on delicate cycle after its been hung all night.

the only problem is.... it smells of sour milk. it's a sour smelling liquid to begin with, but since the softshell absorbs is like neoprene, the jacket now reeks of this smell. People agree with me that it is def not a b.o. smell, but there is certainly a hint of sourness. This is mot likely due to how much i put on, so beware, use LIGHT thin coats... not thick, single layer sprays. The thing is it says it redoes 3-4 jackets i think, and there is still much left for 3 more (i've dont it once before), which makes 5.... so i dont know why it smells like this. (and no it didnt smell like this before or after the washing machine thank you very much haha)

overall, great product, but take care of the amount you put on.
