Review: It works. Smells kinda funny. Darkens fabrics and leather. It does repel water so it works - Before I tell you about Nikwax, please note that I also use Scotchgard from 3M. If you use a solvent based water proofing spray (think 3M), be prepared for strong odors and solvents. 3M waterproofing is great for nubuck and suede as it doesn't darken fabric or natural hide. The down side is that it does require an aerosol can that contains a rapidly evaporating solvent. It dries quickly and should be applied outdoors. Nikwax is water based and has no solvent. It does not smell good and sprays onto fabric and leather with a milky white consistency. No solvents and safe to use indoors. Nikwax takes a while to dry - but in the end, it is excellent for maintaining water repellency. It is extremely effective and keeps fabric and leather cleaner for longer duration. It does tend to darken leather and fabric more than the aerosol (3M) stain repellants. I would not recommend Nikwax for use on suede or on nubuck as it will change the texture if you use too much. Breathability is maintained. For smooth leather and fabric it does seem to work as long as you know that the darkened color change is a strong possibility.
Review: Restored DWR on 5-6 year old boots. - Have a pair of Solomon boots that are ~5 years old and water was seeping in. These were great. After applying, the water beaded off like a new pair.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on combination leather and fabric boots?**
A: I have used them on my mountaineering boots and it works wellhttp://www.amazon.com/Sportiva-Trango-EVO-GTX-Boot/dp/B0007DBK3Q

**Q: what size bottle is it? I see no mention of size anywhere?**
A: Small bottle. Will treat three pieces of clothing in one load.  Works great.

**Q: Has anyone used this on a soft side (ie fabric) suitcase? If so, how did it work. If not - please disregard this question and have a wonderful day.**
A: No

**Q: Can this be used on leather gloves? Regular gloves?**
A: Nikwax makes a couple of products that can be used on gloves (see below) Make sure your gloves are clean before re-waterproofing them. You can use Nikwax Tech Wash to clean them first. Sometimes just cleaning the product will reestablish the DWR. 

 Nikwax Glove Proof: Always apply this product to new and used gloves to keep them in perfect condition. Remember to clean fabric and insulated gloves first with Nikwax Tech Wash and Nikwax Leather Cleaner for leather gloves.

It provides instant Durable Water Repellency (DWR), maintains breathability and replenishes tanning agents in leather. It is non-flammable, contains no harmful solvents and is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and fluorocarbons. Nikwax Waterproofing Wax for Leather™ has been specifically designed and optimized for smooth leather footwear.

Fabric and Leather Proof:
Alternative waterproofing products are often solvent-based aerosols; alternatively, they may be water-based and use fluorocarbons. Aerosol products are flammable. Fluorocarbons pose a potential risk to the environment and to the long-term health of the consumer.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Restored DWR on 5-6 year old boots.
*by P***L on November 25, 2025*

Have a pair of Solomon boots that are ~5 years old and water was seeping in. These were great. After applying, the water beaded off like a new pair.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good waterproofing but might have damaged my boots
*by D***I on August 27, 2023*

This was easy to use and online videos about application methods were very helpful - particularly in emphasizing the importance of not missing anywhere. I had s relatively dry backpacking trip but the few times that I did step in water my feet stayed dry. But on the last day of my six-day trip I noticed that the boot uppers were starting to separate from the soles. This could have been caused by something else, but I’d been wearing these boots for a couple of years with no sign of boot/sole separation before applying this waterproofing treatment.
