Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof

Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof description

Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof should be used to treat tents and packs coated with a non-breathable finish. Using Nikwax will make them more waterproof and lengthen the useful life of your gear. Treat by applying while the fabric is still damp, spray or apply with a brush generously and evenly on the uncoated side (the inside) of the fabric. Allow to soak into cloth for 5 minutes and then wipe all excess away with a damp cloth to avoid leaving white residue. The process is so easy, you have no excuse not to put two coats on high-traffic areas like tent floors and pack bottoms.

Bottom Line: You'll be glad you used this stuff when you're stuck in the rain waiting to see that there aren't any leaks.

I inadvertently washed away the waterproof coating from the inside of my elderly Sierra West tent. After removing the remaining flakes & rinsing any debris from the outside body, I sprayed Nikwax Tent & Gear Proof over the entire outside of the tent including the fly. Amazingly water now beads on the fabric as good or better then when the tent was brand new. I repeat this process once every two years to insure maximum waterproof effectiveness. Great product.

This stuff sealed my tent water tight! After one treatment it has made water bead right off and that's been nearly 6 months ago. Maybe twice a year to treat, it's a cheap way to stay nice and dry!
