Normally I wouldn't care, but I have my town softshell, and I really don't want to smell while wearing this jacket or after. Let me clarify: The smell I'm complaining of is from the Nikwax. It gets the other odors out from the clothing, but there is an awful funk that takes forever to air out. Any ideas how to get rid of it quicker without washing it again in a soap free cycle? question_135624 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 13:42:47 GMT Can anyone tell me if this product has fragrance in it?

I've already got the outerwear covered (mostly Gore-Tex) but I still need a solution for my backpack (carries overpriced college books, and a laptop most of the time). Does anyone have experience with using this water repellent on packs? how effective is it and if it goes a long period without getting wet (no rain) does the coating dry up and flake off? (or in general become less effective?) question_131863 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 23:40:12 GMT Write your question here...

I followed the directions and washed the jacket in tek wash, and then applied the spray as directed. I tested it, and water was NOT beading up on the jacket, so I tried applying it without washing first. But once again, water is still not beading up, just soaking into the outer nylon layer. Everyone has such great things to say about this stuff, I can't help but thinking I'm doing something wrong. Any suggestions? question_118966 Sun, 26 Jul 2009 15:03:43 GMT I was comparing this product, Tent and Gear Proof, to another http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nikwax-Tent-and-Gear-Proof/NIK0021M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_118627#question_118627 Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof I was comparing this product, Tent and Gear Proof, to another Nikwax product called Tent and Gear Solarproof Waterproofing Spray and was wondering if anyone has experience with both? What would make me choose one over the other?

I plan to use this on a tent that was an expensive one, but that has not been used in 8 yrs.

Please explain. question_100047 Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:50:59 GMT How many ropes (60 meter) will this bottle treat? http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nikwax-Rope-Proof/NIK0050M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_98182#question_98182 Nikwax Rope Proof How many ropes (60 meter) will this bottle treat? question_98182 Fri, 27 Mar 2009 15:21:33 GMT Write your question here...I have the water proofing product http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Nikwax-Tech-Wash-Polar-Proof-Twin-Pack/NIK0055M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_97092#question_97092 Nikwax Tech Wash / Polar Proof Twin Pack Write your question here...I have the water proofing product but not the "soap".

Or what combo of Nikwax products would work best for my pack? I know they reccomend Tech wash, UV proof & Tent/Gear proof. It just seems like this would be a great product to add to the lineup for my pack. I am all about getting as much life out of my pack as possible. I guess what I'm asking is, would adding this to the three products I'm already using, be excessive? question_90316 Tue, 03 Mar 2009 10:38:58 GMT
