Comments about Nikwax TX-Direct 2.0 Spray-On Water Repellent Treatment - 5 oz.:
This could have been water and worked as well. I did everything suggested to re-waterproof my 10 year old and leaky Columbia Titanium jacket. I washed it first in the special pre-treatment detergent and once ready, carefully applied a full bottle to one jacket, soaking every seam and every inch.
Leaked just as it had before all the hullabaloo. Disappointed.

I bought this to apply to my snowboarding pants and gloves as they desperately needed to be waterproofed after years of use and washing. However, the spray method only worked well on the gloves, but wasn't so great on the pants. The spray provided uneven coverage on the large surface area of the pants. Overall, it's good for your gloves and smaller items, not so great for jackets and pants.

Believing the specs, I applied nearly an entire bottle to my trusty old Columbia Titanium jacket, hoping it'd keep me warm and dry one more season. EH! Wrong! The water, and cold, came right through. IMHO, this product blows. (P.S. I even laundered my jacket with one of those special pre-wash products.) Double waste. Be warned.

Followed directions completely and only got two jackets out of this bottle. Had to hang outside for a couple days before the smell diminished enough to wear without a headache. Rain drops started to soak in after about an hour, and to add insult... the smell came back. Might try the wash in, I really like my old jacket.

sprayed on a previously waterproof gortex jacket which lost is efficacy over a period of 10 years. after the jacket dried the water beaded on the jacket, as opposed to soaking in before.

I followed the directions to the letter. Washed items with their special wash, too. Applied it to snowboarding gloves, pants and to my rei "waterproof" jacket. Gloves stayed wet, jacket stayed dry for about 2 hours on a hike by Mt St Helens before succumbing to the rain and the pants lasted a day on Mt Hood before they started to soak up the water. God bless high limit credit cards and Gore-Tex Pro Shell because this stuff failed and i upgraded all my stuff so i wouldnt ever be tempted to try it again.

Comments about Nikwax TX-Direct 2.0 Spray-On Water Repellent Treatment - 5 oz.:
The spray bottles I tried, from two different stores and two other sales people also trying to get it to spray failed. If I were able to get the fluid to spray, I'm sure it would have been effective. I was encouraged to use Wash In instead. I think the waxy nature of this product is not able to be pumped through a straw and sprayer nozzle.
