What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Slightly pricey for a small bottle. Only scored 4 for waterproofing as not yet worn in wet weather, cleaned and waterproofed in july in preparation for winter.
Used to re-waterproof several jackets. Now done in preparation for the colder and wetter months. A must for anyone looking to prolong their jackets life and keep it clean.
Very pleased. Arrived on time. Just the job. Excellent service. Has done a wonderful job.
Down jacket looks like new and smells fresh. Fluffed up great after a few hours in the tumble dryer.
Highlights
Quality
I have used nikwax products for a good few years and always been satisfied with the end result.
After investing in a rab down jacket, i knew it was important to clean it with the right product and maintain that is it waterproof.
My issue is the practicality of measuring the product in the supplied cap.
Washed again with the water proofing and again, came out nice and full (put two tennis balls in the dryer with the jacket).
Packaging/appearance
Fabulous result as the jacket is white and was soiled on one off the pockets quite badly.
Competitiveness
They weren't 100% clean as new but it was better than expected.

In fact it seemed to make no difference at all and the jackets absorb water straight away even in light drizzle

Process appears to leave a coating on the jacket but it does not take anything away from the appearance suspect this is the waterproof product
