Nikwax

Tent & Gear Solar Proof

Better than the Aerosol TentDry

This is way easier and better to use than TentDry. I like that it comes in a spray bottle over an aerosol can. It's super easy to use and works like a charm. Spray the tent down with water, Spray the Tent and Gear Solar Proof, and wipe in. Thats it!

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof is an excellent product that’s easy to apply and really delivers. After spraying it on my tent and letting it dry, the fabric repelled water beautifully and felt noticeably more protected. I love that it also adds UV protection to prevent sun damage, which helps extend the life of my gear. It works great on backpacks and rain covers too, and the fact that it’s eco-friendly is a big plus. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to keep their outdoor gear in top shape!

Incredible stuff. Helps keep my gear waterproofed and clean. Only problem is it smells a little funky!

Absolutely Great Product

This is a great product to use. Its very easy to apply and works great. I've used it on my baby's stroller canopy cover to help it wick water away when its raining. I have also used it on my Rhino Rack Bat Wing canopy that I have on my Jeep so when I have the shelter spread out, I can have it at an angle to help the water run off and not puddle on my canopy when in use. We've also used this product on backpacks and diaper bags to keep them dry when it rains as well.

Restored my tent's water shedding abilities

I keep thinking my tent bought in 2021 is new. It's not - and it's been through some things. Big Agnes recommends using this to maintain it, and I'm glad I got it. I noticed a difference in the water repelling qualities of the tent after applying it. I just have to trust the solar proofing part works too, but I'm glad to spend a little to make my expensive tent purchase last longer.

Easy application and looks like it will work great. Used on a Nemo teepee style tent that we use for a secondary shelter and food area separate from our sleeping tent. Haven't taken out yet, but so far so good.

Works every time

I always wash my gear in nikwax and re apply after it dries and it works every time.

Great product

It's a great product you should be using after camping in rainy environments!

Re-freshed my waterproof jacket

This was a super easy way to extend the life of my rain jacket and rain pants. Water is noticably more repellant after treatment! I di not use the wash beforehand, and it still worked well.

It works!

I’ve used this on all of my DWR dependent outdoor gear and it does pretty well. I’ve followed the directions on the bottle and it works. It does have to be reapplied after a while but that come with the territory for most products nowadays. I have recommended this product to friend and family. The only thing it lacks is how long it lasts compared to the original coating on an item so I give it a 4/5.
