Reviewed by The Great Northwest from Shelton WA. on Friday, February 08, 2013I wet down the jacket I wanted to waterproof and then sprayed a 25% product with 75% water rather then wash a clean item. Worked great now my puffy shirt is waterproof.

Reviewed by Mitchicken from Mi on Wednesday, February 06, 2013Used it on all my soft shell gear. Jackets and pants. Now they are like new. Very impressed.

Reviewed by Ski Bitten from French Alpes on Thursday, January 24, 2013Easy to use, and really works. My husband's ski jacket was no longer repelling water; washed it with this product and it's like new. My only complaint would be on the directions for usage, which were not on the bottle. Luckily I also purchased a different bottle of the waterproofing mixture as I wasn't sure which would be best for the ski jacket ( this one is..) and the second bottle had directions on it.

Question “What NIKWAX product do you recommend for a pair of Columbia Zip Off Pants that are 100% Nylon? Heading into the wilderness for a week long canoe trip this spring and will be expecting some rain.”
-
Answer I think the, Nikwax Wash-In Soft Shell Proof Waterproofing Item #71082, would fit your needs. Also you may want to consider bringing a bottle of Nikwax Fabric and Leatherproof Spray-On Waterproofing Item #1831P along for the trip.

Question “Would this product be an appropriate one to add water proofing to a Carhartt jacket (100% cotton)? Or is there something more appropriate? Carhartt jackets have a slight water resistance to them but it's just not cutting it. After a few minutes of light rain or snow it just soaks right in.”

Question “I have a 'fashion' type raincoat, unlined, lightweight, crisp nylon. Is this product appropriate for it?”
-
Answer I would not recommend the "soft shell" wash for a "hard shell" garment like a rain coat. I would recommend NikWak T.X Direct for hard shell jackets. I hope this helps.

Question “Does this product contain UV inhibitors? IS it safe to use on huntin clothes?”
-
Answer This product does not contain UV inhibitors, but it should be safe for use on any washable outerwear. They also sell a spray-on version of this item for clothing you do not wish to wash.

-
Question “Does this product dye the fabric purple, or is it clear?”
-
Answer This is a clear liquid to wash your items in. A rule to remember with Nikwax is the purple bottles proof and the green bottles clean. The solution is always clear.
-
Answer The product is milky white in the bottle and in the water but it didn't dye the fabric of my jackets at all. The only thing purple about this product is the bottle cap. My jackets (two jackets are military olive drab green, and one is blue) all came out exactly like they went in except now are fresh, clean, and super highly water repellent again. Worked so well I bought a second bottle of both Tech wash and Soft Shell Proof to have on hand for next time.
