Nikwax Hardshell Cleaning & Waterproofing Duo-Pack

This stuff WORKS! I had a Columbia sportswear rain jacket that began to allow rain to penetrate, but rather than throw it away, I bought this. I used this in the washer, and now my rain jacket doesn't leak anymore. Well worth buying to re-treat your rain jacket. It's the appropriate and economical response to such a problem.

Worked great. Old Goretex jacket is now beading water just like when it was new. Instructions easy to follow. Wash with extra rinse with one bottle. Then wash with extra rinse in other bottle. Tumble dry. My only complaint is that the bottles are the same size, but the second bottle should be much larger so you get the same number of uses of each

Didn’t work as well as I had hoped. There may have been some improved water repelency but it wasn’t that apparent.On the expensive side for just three rain jackets.

This stuff is great! The detergent is amazing and my gourmet never looked so clean! Time will tell whether the protection works, but I would absolutely order again based on just how clean my clothes have gotten.

Used this duo to clean and re-waterproof both a Gore-Tex rain jacket and a pair of DWR active joggers—worked perfectly. Brought back the water repellency and made both items look and perform like new. Each 300mL bottle is good for about 3 washes, so it’s not a ton of product, but the results make it worth it. I’ll definitely be buying this again when I run out.

Good product that actually works. I use this stuff about once per year in the spring on my wife’s and my rain jackets. This will make sure you don’t get wet out and will keep you dry. I use it on backpacks that aren’t waterproofed at all as well and it helps them to repel water.

Used these to freshen up my ski gear, and they worked great. Both products go right in the wash, making it super easy—no spraying or extra steps needed. The cleaner removes dirt and buildup without messing with the fabric, and the waterproofing treatment restored water resistance without leaving any stiffness.Pros:✔ Super easy—just toss it in the washing machine✔ Doesn’t leave residue or change the feel of the fabric✔ Works well on ski jackets, rain gear, and shellsCons:• The bottles aren’t huge, so if you have a lot of gear, you might need more• The waterproofing effect is good, but you may need to repeat it after heavy useIf your jacket or shell isn’t repelling water like it used to, this duo-pack is an easy way to bring it back to life!

Restored some repelancy, but still has soak-through areas, even after 2 washes of coating. Will try spray on next, perhaps it will work better.
