GEAR AID Revivex Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Spray for Restoring Waterproofing on Rainwear, Gore-TEX, Soft Shells, Waders, Tents, Ski, Paddle and Camping Gear, Various Sizes Available

Works very well. The spray bottle has a good, strong, spread of fine spray. Got 2 jackets covered easily with ~20 sprays each (that's a very rough guess, but I sprayed the jackets down quite a bit to ensure I didn't miss any spots - I'm just trying to say the spray bottle works well).The formula is great, we tested it on card board, and it totally works. Sprayed the jackets (Northface and Arcteryx), both are looking great. No issues with spots, nor any discoloration (my jackets are dark grey and black).Very good product, and reasonable price, I'll get the same again when I run out of this one (probably after next year).

This worked great on a older rain jacket and some hiking boots. Will continue to add when needed. It did not discolor or fade the clothing when added to it.

16.9 oz bottle covered 5 jackets, as advertised. Wore one of the jackets earlier same day (an Eddie Bauer) before treating and it wetted out indicating it was no longer water resistant. Cleaned them, sprayed Revivex on exterior of all to saturate, and ran them all through drier. Verified it restored water resistance, including the one I had worn earlier. No experience yet on durability.

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.

I've been using another similar brand for a long time and tried gear aid. It seems to work ok, but its not as consistent as what I was using. I tried the other brand side by side and this one doesn't have a consistent bead up of water. I washed the garment first and it was only damp when coated. Gave it a nice even light coat and let dry for 2 days. I went outside with the coat in some light drizzle and water kinda beaded up but in some areas it soaked in. Over the whole garment there where white splotches that werent there before. I followed instructions and sprayed the garment when damp not soaked, I let it set for an hour then wiped the garment with a damp sponge. then let it dry. I kinda regret the test with the wash that rid the old coating and trying something new. I should have done a cold wash, mile soap and stuck with a refresh of the previous coating.

This product did not work at all. Followed all directions and used the entire bottle on to re-waterproff one rain jacket. The jacket did not perform any better after using this spray and I was soaked. I highly recommend you do not buy this.

Works great rejuvenating my Klim motorcycle riding gear.

This spray is great for waterproofing stuff like waders or rain jackets
