REI Members get back an estimated 10% on this item as part of their annual member refund.

The REI Member Dividend

The REI dividend is a unique benefit of membership in the REI co-op. It's comprised of your member refund—typically 10% back on eligible purchases—and/or your REI Visa® card rebates.

Each March, active REI members and REI Visa cardholders who earned a rebate receive a refund in the form of an annual dividend notice.

Only active members receive annual dividend notices. To maintain your active status as an REI member, you need to make net merchandise or shipping purchases of at least $10 per year, unless you joined that year. Member numbers are issued in one name and only that person receives the member refund. Your number can be used by others in your family, but it cannot be transferred to someone else.

Questions? Call us at 1-800-426-4840 for more about your dividend or its redemption.

Comments about Nikwax Liquid Waterproofing Wax for Leather:

Not sure about the other user's experience. I've used Nikwax products for years and have no complaints whatsoever. For first time application on any product, it's best to apply two to three coats as noted in the instructions. Make sure to get the solution into all seams, as you'd do with any waterproofing products. It takes a bit of time and work, but the results are well worth it. I've used Nikwax on hiking boots, shoes, and gloves. The only time I've had problems was when I didn't follow instructions. Like any waterproofing product, you will need to reapply it after hard/long use of your apparel/material.

Comments about Nikwax Liquid Waterproofing Wax for Leather:

This does not work. I used it as directed on the bottle for some leather shoes. After a 10 minute walk in mild rain my shoes were soaked completely. This Does NOT work whatsoever. Don't waste money as I did.

Comments about Nikwax Liquid Waterproofing Wax for Leather:

I've only used this on hiking boots, where I find it very easy to apply. Just hose & scrub boots, slobber on the Nikwax while the boots are still wet, work into seams with a toothbrush (an old one, or someone elses'), wait a while, wipe off excess. I find it excellent in the low-humidity Sierra for occasional melting snow & splashing across streams, but it's not up to constant wet snow or mud. Snow Seal is the only product I've found which keeps leather boots dry when constantly flexing in the wet.
