Softshell Proof Spray On

If your softshell performance jacket and pants don't seem to have the water-resistance gumption they once did, get your gear back in gear with Nikwax Softshell Proof Spray On. Simply spray this product onto your Softshell performance gear to restore the factory DWR (Durable Water Repellency) coating. This Nikwax spray will also increase the breathability of your gear. This Nikwax product won't fade or goof up the way your gear looks either. *Use this spray in conjunction with the Nikwax Tech wash (sold separately) for best results.

Worthy investment.

I caved and ordered a lot of Nikwax products to cover me for all types of needs. I don't regret it one bit! I'm very happy with the performance and I like knowing I'm covered in the future for other items.

Read and follow the directions fully!

I did a ton of research on DWR treatment products prior to buying this Nikwax product. Fortunately, I did way too much research ahead of time and had really great results - both with the spray on DWR and wash in products. What I found to be most helpful for me: 1. Make sure to read the Nikwax instructions thoroughly ahead of time. 2. Check out some online forums and/or Youtube videos ahead of time as well so that you can see exactly what you'll need to do. 3. Don't try to take any shortcuts. For example, when it comes to fully cleaning out your washing machine prior to use with a wash in product, make sure it has been thoroughly washed out. 4. Know that even if it doesn't work out the first go around, you can always clean your garments and re-apply as needed until you get it right.

Softshell Upgrade

A story. I love spring skiing. I hate sweating on the slopes. Light shells and sheddable layers are the order of the day. Which is great right up until the freak wind knifes you or unforcasted snow blankets you. Scenario two hit while I was riding up the lift wearing a light, stretchy marmot shell I'd recently treated with this softshell spray. The shell managed to sheet the moisture off and I stayed warm (-ish) and dry (not -ish). My softshells get an annual treatment.

Easy spray on

I like the pump sprayer, I have been using rug wash for my horse blankets for years, this will be the first time using this product but all the others work great so I’m sure this will too!

Helps greatly with older jackets to make them waterproof again.

Helps to maintain waterproofing so use it at the end of ski season before I put clothes away.

Another winner from Nikwax

I used the wash-in Nikwax’s Softshell Proof before finally trying out this spray-on version this year. They both deliver the same amazing results — reviving breathability and vastly improving water resistance — but I find this spray-on easier and much faster to use. This product now has a permanent place in my laundry closet.

Easy to apply, indeed makes my HH work gear waterproof

Ease of application. Items I used this product on was my HH performance work pants and jacket. We’ve had quite the variety of weather recently and this product has helped keep me dry for a full shift outside in either snow or light rain. Anyone looking for an easy watering proofing product to apply I’d recommend this. I’m going to buy more to apply to other garments.
