Very easy to use. Provides excellent water protection. Wouldn't use anything else but NikWax products. Cheaper imitators can't compete.

My Coleman Vale tent ground sheet was letting water through. Firstly I used some spare Nickwax breathable waterproofer on my tent ground sheet which didnt help. Thinking I hadn't applied enough I brought another bottle but this time the tent proof non breathable nickwax. The nozzle sprayed the fluid poorly; very inconsistant and not finely enough. I applied the whole bottle 3 times over from both sides of the material having to wipe the runs in all the time - AND IT STILL LEAKS!? (It has reduced the leakage)Not impressed.

This stuff is good for waterproofing your gear and as it turns out it works well on cloth/PUL diaper covers! It is more environmentally friendly than the others out there from what I've been told so that's a plus.

Works great but ignore what they say on the package: 10oz is enough for 25 sqm (13m twinskin kite); apply roll up like a carpet & let product soak in for up to 1 hour then hang out to drip off & dry.

I have used Nikwax boot supplies in the past and really liked the results as with this well I'm not that impressed. First off the instructions on the bottle say lay your clean wet item out flat. OK first off do they mean soaking wet or lightly misted wet? I was proofing a rainfly! Do you see the problem here? Anyhow it made a huge mess I had no idea if the solution was the correct mixture or not and it was difficult to tell what was treated vrs. what was just wet. Having a fly that wasn't that bad off to begin with (just trying to improve it before winter camping) it didn't seem to want to soak into the fabric that well I believe most of the product evaporated. Also I was hoping to do my groundcloth also but the 10oz was barely enough to do the rainfly. If I wanted to do the entire tent/fly and groundcloth I would need at least 40oz. Perhaps this product works better on REALLY old products but as for my tent no way. It has helped a bit but not to Nikwax (or my) standards.
