Revivex Wash-in Water Repellent

Made outdoor curtains and wash material in Gear. It Works!!!

I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this stuff was awesome. I’ve had the same Columbia raincoat for years and it was letting water soak through. I used this product and water beads up and runs right off again! Maybe even better than new. A little expensive but much cheaper than a new rain jacket and you get enough to do multiple items. Might do my tents and dry bags too!

Works well for repelling water on outdoor gear. Same problem as with the wash. They do not define "capful". I wasn't sure if a capful the small circular part, or the entire diamond shape space under the cap...

Removes gortex streaker stains well.

I used it in combination with the recommended prewash soap as directed in a small washing machine. I used it on an already waterproof jacket and regular non waterproof pants, both polyester. It maintained the waterproofing of the jacket and added modest waterproofing to the pants, the pants now repel splashes but 50ish% of water soaks in after a few seconds. I would not recommend this product for making garments waterproof but it seems good for maintaining waterproofing.

My $300 goretex raincoat failed me in the cloud forest of costa rica. That led me down a path that ended with this product. I tried to reactivate the DWR on my coat, but it didn't work. I used this product, and water beads up on the coat. I tested it by getting in the shower with the coat on. The water beads up again and doesn't soak in. I then tried this on my 20 year old ski shell and pants. It seemed to rejuvenate those also. I didn't get in the shower with those and I didn't expect miracles given the material their made out of. I'm satified with the improvement in water repellency Make sure you follow the instructions.

This product doesn’t work. It didn’t get the stains out of my light colored jacket and it stripped all the jackets I washed with it. I followed the package instructions and paired with the detergent as recommended by the brand. What was a jacket that used to soak through after heavy rain now soaks in immediately, barely even beads. Very disappointed.

This is a great replacement or add on DWR for most materials. You do need to clean the garment or bag first, with a couple extra rinses and maybe a couple more rinses. Not so much to rinse the garment, but to make sure that there isn't any detergent (especially this) or soap residue in the washer. Any detergent will drastically reduce the effectiveness of any and every DWR or breathable fabric no matter who makes it, where it was made, or what it's on. It has to do with the weakening of surface tension and allowing water to pass through areas it's normally not able to. Anyway, throroughly rinse. Run this through a soak cycle and a higher soil setting (longer agitation), and a single rinse with a low water level if your machine allows that. Ideally you can dry the item(s) on medium as this will make it bond better to the item and it will last longer. Low works but not as well, and if you can't use the dryer at all air drying works, it's just not as long lasting.

No funciona, no desperdicien su dinero aún usando la secadora no ayuda en nada a recuperar el dwr

Rénovation

Worked really well on three jackets to restore water repellency. Used in conjunction with the Gear Aid Revivex Pro Cleaner. Used the cleaner in the washing machine as prescribed, then did the water repellant treatment by hand, as stated in the instructions. Jackets are now fully waterproof again.

Treating, washing, and drying your Gore-Tex products assures their on-going, functional use. In fact, it is by washing and drying—drying specifically—that your Gore-Tex products are assured a long, water-proof life. I never knew that until recently when I read their info on their website. This is a great product to add to your wash, thereby treating it. I have a pair of Saucony pants that are Gore-Tex treated and they have lasted me for close to 40 years. Washing them and other Gore-Tex clothing will give them added protection.

Lo utilice para lavar una chamarra y no sirvió, además que por el tamaño del producto es extremadamente caro.
