Used on my rain parka and as a supplement to the rug proof on a horse rug along the back. Very pleased with the results.

Beads water like new and still breathable. Works very well.

Very good product
Easy to use. We treated two Gortex jackets. Excellent result. I estimate that the 16 oz bottle will restore 6 or more garments. Be sure to wet the fabric prior to application.

You wouldn't expect it to work as well as it does
I bought this to waterproof some polyester pants that were not waterproof originally. After spraying on and air drying, the pants repel water incredibly well. I was recently caught out in a notoriously fierce Washington DC spring rainstorm and while everyone else was dripping wet I stayed completely dry without needing an umbrella. I'll definitely be purchasing more for my other outerwear.

I prefer spray-on waterproofing like this nikwax product which allow targeted waterproofing to the overall wash-in varieties. TX Direct works well, but is most effective if you clean the fabric ahead of time with a specialized cleaner like you would get from nikwax or granger. Definitely avoid fabric softener before applying.
