GEAR AID Wash-in Water Repellent, Long-Lasting Waterproofing for Snow and Rain Outdoor Gear, Concentrated Formula, Durable Protection Against The Elements, 10 Fl oz

This is a terrific product! I used it on my wool coat and jeans I soaked my wool coat in it, in a basin so not to ruin my coat. But this stuff is pretty close to waterproofing. I live in the Northeast area. It doesn't let snow melt into the fabric. Added bonus it doesn't get dirty as easily. Everything got wiped away. I also used it on my jeans and socks that I use for barn work. It lets socks breathe but doesn't get wet from sweating or snow. Barn jeans were easily wiped clean! I don't know how I lived without it honestly!

Stuff works good best when use all three,wash , wash in water proof,and spray on

Works well for repelling water on outdoor gear. Same problem as with the wash. They do not define "capful". I wasn't sure if a capful the small circular part, or the entire diamond shape space under the cap...

I work outside in pacific north west that means it’s rainy a lot! This stuff will make your rain gear work like new or better than new. I fill wash machine with warm water add appropriate amount of product respective to water level and number of garments. Put product in and let the wash cycle do its thing but pay attention when it’s done and spins out you don’t want the washer to fill for rinse with garments in there. I find it works best if don’t try to do too much at once. I put my XL jacket and bibs in and that’s plenty. You want the garment to move around and agitate good. Put in dryer and let the product “set” Water beads off and gear stays breathable witch if you spend a lot of time in rain gear and are active it needs to breathe other wise you’ll feel like you weren’t wearing rain gear at all cause youll be soaking wet with sweat! Add cold to that and you’re miserable all day! This product keeps me dry and warm inside my rain gear.

I've used all the brands, this is the best water repellent. It works well with some post wash sprays as well. As long as you carefully follow the instructions this brings your clothing back to new. The water beads right off. I used it once a year to keep the water beading and it's never failed. It's basically no scent and lasts about one season with normal use, no residues.

I have never found a waterproofing product that is as good as new. So maybe it is impossible. It improved waterproofing of my old ski jacket but even after 2 treatment, results are meh.

This is a great replacement or add on DWR for most materials. You do need to clean the garment or bag first, with a couple extra rinses and maybe a couple more rinses. Not so much to rinse the garment, but to make sure that there isn't any detergent (especially this) or soap residue in the washer. Any detergent will drastically reduce the effectiveness of any and every DWR or breathable fabric no matter who makes it, where it was made, or what it's on. It has to do with the weakening of surface tension and allowing water to pass through areas it's normally not able to. Anyway, throroughly rinse. Run this through a soak cycle and a higher soil setting (longer agitation), and a single rinse with a low water level if your machine allows that. Ideally you can dry the item(s) on medium as this will make it bond better to the item and it will last longer. Low works but not as well, and if you can't use the dryer at all air drying works, it's just not as long lasting.

Does not work! At all. I used it on a heavy cotton windjacket. I followed instructions exactly, and used the entire package even though it called for 1 ounce per garment. I applied it 3 times and followed instructions to the t. I lightly dried it- i sprinkled water on it and it just soaked through the fabric. Not even one bead of water. Complete failure. Very disappointed. If you do decide to use this product wear a respirator as the VOCs are off the chart, and wear gloves as I got a little on my finger and it was caustic. I notice that the package label did not mention this. Bottom line- i am going to try the old school scotch guard now.

No funciona, no desperdicien su dinero aún usando la secadora no ayuda en nada a recuperar el dwr

Rénovation

I followed the package instructions and it made my rain jacket waterproof again. I highly recommend this product. I was nervous since I never used a waterproofing product before, but I can guarantee this works and will not ruin your clothes.

Gear Aid has 4.7 of 5.0 stars. The highest number of stars on Amazon. Plan to use it on my ForceField rain gear. Says 1 ounce or 2-tablespoons per article. Reviewers state to soak gear in luke warm water_enough to fully submerge the item for 20 minutes minimum. Spin dry (Don't Rinse) Then throw it in a dryer on low heat for 30-60 minutes to activate the waterproofing. I'll update this review and share my results soon. UPDDATE:; When I opened the bottle the fluid was just like sour milk/globby. I took 1 oz and washed my jacket hoping the water would liquify the Gear Aid but it didn't. My jacket came out all spotted. In reviews a couple people had the same issue. Did it freeze in the back of intelcoms truck? The item was very cold when handed to me. Returning for refund. It does say guaranteed for 2 years. Could simply be a bad batch but I could not find an expiration date on bottle. For $37.00 I admit I'm disappointed.

Treating, washing, and drying your Gore-Tex products assures their on-going, functional use. In fact, it is by washing and drying—drying specifically—that your Gore-Tex products are assured a long, water-proof life. I never knew that until recently when I read their info on their website. This is a great product to add to your wash, thereby treating it. I have a pair of Saucony pants that are Gore-Tex treated and they have lasted me for close to 40 years. Washing them and other Gore-Tex clothing will give them added protection.
