Read More I used this on my trusty old Sierra Designs Bedouin tent after years of sun & weather had stripped away the rainfly's water repellency. It really brought the water repellency back from the dead. I'm not sure about the UV blocking effectiveness, but I think it's cheap insurance to keep your expensive tent from being degraded by UV light. It's very easy to apply - just set up the tent w/ the fly on, hose it down to get the entire fly wet and then spray evenly & liberally. Wipe it down with a rag to ensure full coverage & to work the product into the nylon, then let it dry completely. Now you've got a rainfly that sheds water like new! -

Read More I can't vouch for the effectiveness of this product's UV protection, as I have only used it on my tent this summer (Marmot Limelight 3). I figure it would be a good preventative measure and I haven't reapplied a DWR coating other than the factory original. I did notice that water beaded up on the fly more readily than it has in the past.

Read More After years of dependable service my tent leaked during a sustaned period of heavy rain. The prospect of dealing with my soaked sleeping bags and other wet belings was bad enough without contemplating the replacement of my tent or at a minimum the fly. A search of the REI site turned up this product and I gave it a try. And I'm glad I did as it worked exactly as advertised. My tent is watertight again with the added benefit of solar protection.
