Great Product that Works Just as Advertised
Worked great and made my raincoat like new, repelling the water again. I followed all of the instructions and my husband took the coat outside to spray it since I have allergies to a lot of odors. I am very pleased with the product. I have only used my raincoat once since it was treated but the water beaded up perfectly, just as it should. It was easy to follow the directions and did not change the color of my red raincoat at all. I am very pleased with this product and highly recommend it.

Works great. Recommended.
Used on tent and rain gear. Works exactly as it should greatly improved water sheds g ability of even a very old tent rain fly. Works as you’d expect it to. Very good stuff.

They stand behind their product!
I received this product in early March and used it last weekend. After washing my jacket, I tried to apply the Revivex Durable Water Repellant. It was watery with white chunks in it that didn’t go away no mattered how long I shook the bottle. It immediately clogged up the applicator. I was unable to use it. I left a message with the product supplier.They reached out to me right away on Monday. Apparently with some extra cold weather some product had frozen (my bottle being one of those) which ruined the product. Gear Aid apologized for the situation and immediately sent out a replacement bottle of water repellant spray along with a bottle of prewash so I could start over. I used it yesterday afternoon. All is well and the product appears to be doing the job.Although I didn’t like the hassle factor, I was very impressed with the way this situation was handled.

Waterproof the rain fly on a tent.
I have Colman 4 person tent that’s about 10 years old now. Really love the tent because its roomy, easy to setup and sturdy. I only use it once or twice a year but on my most recent camping trip we unfortunately had a few episodes of heavy rain and I noticed the rainfly was no longer completely waterproof.Fortunately it wasn’t too big a deal but I knew I wanted to address the problem before I risked using the tent again and this product did the trick perfectly. Easy to apply, dried relatively quickly and didn’t discolor the fabric at all.

Not a solid performer, try Formula 303 instead
The bottle is quite small, and with how much is needed (especially when it doesn’t seem to work even after 2-3 solid applications), I won’t be buying this again. Formula 303 is cheaper and applies better, and lasts longer. If the performance was there, I’d buy again, but after 3 applications on a 2 year old freshly washed Burton coat, it STILL wasn’t wicking away water and kept soaking it in.

Appears to have done nothing.
Attempted on 3 items. Followed instructions exactly. It worked fair on one, but the other two had mostly no effect. I honestly wondered if the one it worked on was just me deactivating the original dwr.

Good stuff. Read this review!
Leaving this review because I saw a lot of complaints that this leaves spots/stains and ruined peoples jackets. That is almost 100% user error. The photos attached are after I treated my gear with this spray.This stuff works very well on my Gortex outerwear. It left no stains or spots on my black Burton AK jacket and bib. Also no spots on my 686 jacket which has lighter colors(more susceptible to oil/dirt stains.) Water was beading up and running off the jackets. Very hydrophobic.If you haven’t washed Gortex or other similar waterproof gear, I would recommend visiting their site and looking at the steps.First I wash the gear with Grangers performance detergent. Then I hang dry completely. Once it’s dry, I throw it in the dryer on low heat for 20 minutes to reactivate any remaining DWR. In some cases that’s all that is needed to make your gear water resistant again.If DWR is needed after the above steps, I hang up the gear and spray it down completely until the gear is wet to the touch. If the spray is beading up and dripping down your jacket you want to wipe off that excess with a clean rag. Apply generously to the shoulders and other high contact areas.After this you can just hang dry your gear but I like to throw it back in the dryer for another 20 minutes on low or medium heat. (Some DWR sprays need that heat to activate.) I know other peoples routines may vary but I do this once or twice a year to my jackets and it works well every time.Gear revivex and Grangers Repel + are my DWRs of choice. I do think Gear Revivex tends to be my favorite.

Habe das ReviveX’ Imprägnierspray gekauft um ältere Jacken zu imprägnieren. Geht nach der aufgedruckten Anleitung super einfach und hat bei mir locker für eine Regenjacke und einen Mantel gereicht. Und es hält dicht. Empfehlenswert!
