Product Overview

I am writing to review Nikwax Tent and Gear Cleaning, Waterproofing, and UV Protection product. After using this product, I can confidently say that it is a great choice for anyone looking to protect their outdoor gear from the elements.

This product is a water based spray on application that adds a layer of protection from water and sun damage. It does this by restoring the water repellency of weatherproof fabrics and adding an extra layer of UV protection to prevent sun damage. This is especially useful for tents, fly, backpacks, awnings, boat covers, umbrellas, patio furniture, and panniers. The best part about this product is that it is water based, non persistent, and contains no PFCs perfluorinated compounds , optical brighteners or added scent.

I found this product to be very easy to use as you just have to spray it on the fabric and then wipe off any excess with a damp cloth or sponge. It also helps to restore the fabrics breathability which keeps your gear dry even in extreme weather conditions. Additionally, I found the value for money of this product to be quite good as it does not break the bank and works effectively. The durability of this product was also quite impressive as it lasted longer than many other similar products I have used in the past.

Overall I would highly recommend Nikwax Tent and Gear Cleaning, Waterproofing and UV Protection as a great choice for anyone looking for an effective way to protect their outdoor gear from the elements. This product is suitable for all types of outdoor activities such as camping, hiking or fishing and provides excellent waterproofing and UV protection without breaking the bank.
