I used this to waterproof 12 horse blankets in my washing machine. All the blankets look wonderful and are completely waterproof. It was so easy and saved me hundreds of dollars.

Since your washing this in, the treatment is applied to the inside as well as the outside. The problem is there is an icky waxy feeling against the skin. As someone else noted, it doesn't cover arms well, so you end up with a wet icky waxy feeling. It probably works as well as any other waterproofer I've tried, which is almost. It seems to wear off or wash away (even when hand washed in special soap) fairly quickly, maybe after 5 or so wearings of the garment. I wish somebody would make a real good waterproofer, I've tried 4 so far. From what I understand, you used to be able to buy some good stuff from clothes manufacturers or some dry cleaners, but the EPA stopped that.

Anyway, so far this is the best I've tried, at least it's easy to apply, you don't have to worry about missing a spot when spraying it on. Just get used to the creepy feeling.

It's the only stuff that effectively "waterproofs" motorcycle riding suits. When properly used, it is good for 12 hours of motorcycle riding in the rain.

Honest reviews on Nikwax TX Direct Wash In Water Repellent

Good product. Used it on hunting garments to bring back waterproofing. First day in the woods in a steady rain, kept the water out on the shoulders and back. Still got wet on the arms, but not soaked, as before the treatment. The only drawback is it's not permanent and will have to keep rewashing every year.

If you need water proofing... buy this. I live in Oregon, my husband and I commute on bike. I have waterproof clothes I bought years ago for my husband and the water proofer wore off on them. I washed them in my front loader with this product and they are waterproof again. The bottle says they are environmentally friendly and non-toxic too which is what I was looking for. I washed shoes with it and also a tarp for a bunny cover outside. They all worked. I will buy this again.
