Revivex Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Spray for Waterproof Jackets, Rain Gear, Gore-TEX, Tents & Camping Gear – Restore Waterproofing & Breathability, Various Sizes

Leaving this review because I saw a lot of complaints that this leaves spots/stains and ruined peoples jackets. That is almost 100% user error. The photos attached are after I treated my gear with this spray. This stuff works very well on my Gortex outerwear. It left no stains or spots on my black Burton AK jacket and bib. Also no spots on my 686 jacket which has lighter colors(more susceptible to oil/dirt stains.) Water was beading up and running off the jackets. Very hydrophobic. If you haven’t washed Gortex or other similar waterproof gear, I would recommend visiting their site and looking at the steps. First I wash the gear with Grangers performance detergent. Then I hang dry completely. Once it’s dry, I throw it in the dryer on low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate any remaining DWR. In some cases that’s all that is needed to make your gear water resistant again. If DWR is needed after the above steps, I hang up the gear and spray it down completely until the gear is wet to the touch. If the spray is beading up and dripping down your jacket you want to wipe off that excess with a clean rag. Apply generously to the shoulders and other high contact areas. After this you can just hang dry your gear but I like to throw it back in the dryer for another 20 minutes on low or medium heat. (Some DWR sprays need that heat to activate.) I know other peoples routines may vary but I do this once or twice a year to my jackets and it works well every time. Gear revivex and Grangers Repel + are my DWRs of choice. I do think Gear Revivex tends to be my favorite.

Worked great and made my raincoat like new, repelling the water again. I followed all of the instructions and my husband took the coat outside to spray it since I have allergies to a lot of odors. I am very pleased with the product. I have only used my raincoat once since it was treated but the water beaded up perfectly, just as it should. It was easy to follow the directions and did not change the color of my red raincoat at all. I am very pleased with this product and highly recommend it.

Seems to work OK. A bit costly for the quantity you get, though.

Its really good! Once you spray the waterproof repellent. It has a milky look to it. Just remember do a nice light coating. Dont over do it. But put 2 coats of it on your rain gear. When you spray it, if it starts running. The repellent isn't working.

The bottle is quite small, and with how much is needed (especially when it doesn’t seem to work even after 2-3 solid applications), I won’t be buying this again. Formula 303 is cheaper and applies better, and lasts longer. If the performance was there, I’d buy again, but after 3 applications on a 2 year old freshly washed Burton coat, it STILL wasn’t wicking away water and kept soaking it in.

This product is amazing! I was very hesitant to buy it by read the reviews about it would stain the jacket. I used the whole bottle for 3 adult jackets, 3 kids jacket and a pants. Some tips I used: 1. Wash your jackets and total dry them. 2. Hang on outdoor somewhere for better spray and reduce irritation to yourself. I do wear mask and glasses, I feel I need a goggle because when it gets to my eyes I feel little irritated. 3. Gentle reverse the bottle multiple times every time before you use it to mix the solution well. 4. As the instructions says spay 5-10 inches away to the jackets. When you notice there are water dripping, wear gloves to wipe it. My strategy is make sure the spar even as possible. 5. For pretty wear out places, repeat spray 2-3 times . 6. Air dry or dryer at mid-low temperature for about 20minute minutes. When I spray the male yellow jacket which my husband used a lot for about 5 years, the spray made it wet and looks like a lot of pink/red stains. It looked scary, but when the jacket dried, the stains disappeared. I sprayed my husband yellow jacket 3 times, every time wait a little bit in between. I retested two yellow jackets under tap water. They are like new!! My kids jacket since I do not have enough spray, I can notice the got sprayed part waterproof and the other part still wet. So good even spray is very important. I just not sure how long the treatment will last if I use and wash the jackets again.

The spray bottle is filled with a chunky white paste that cannot be sprayed. I understand that this means the bottle was allowed to freeze at some point and the product has split. Regardless of why it is that way, the fact remains that the product delivered to me is useless. I see at least one other reviewer mentions the same issue. If you decide to buy this product, I recommend opening it to check to see if the fluid is actually a fluid before you attempt to spray it on a garment.

I ordered this because the Nikwax products keep getting more expensive and I hoped this was basically the same product for cheaper. I am happy to report that it is. For people complaining it smells like pickles, yes it does, but so does Nikwax and neither smell after they have been applied and dried. To apply to a jacket, first wash and dry the jacket if needed. Close all zippers and fasteners on the jacket and lay it flat on a tarp or deck (preferably not inside). Spray on the DWR until you have covered the entire jacket, then turn it inside-out, fold it up, and leave it for 30 minutes to soak in. Then toss the jacket as-is into a dryer and dry normally at medium heat. The jacket should now be waterproof and not smell.

contente de mon achat

Seems to have worked well

Worked great on my ski gloves, Mountain Hardware jacket and trousers. Wasn't much left after that. Just bought another bottle for this year as it really did the job.
