Available in 10 and 16.9 fl oz sizes, its PFAS-free, zero fluorocarbon formula restores durable water repellency for up to 6 jackets per can while maintaining breathability. The easy-to-use trigger sprayer ensures even application, making it the go-to solution for professional-grade waterproofing on rainwear, tents, and outdoor gear. ## Description Restore the protective DWR (durable water repellency) coating on jackets and high-tech rainwear, paddling and snow gear with Revivex Durable Water Repellent. This reproofing spray repels water, oil, and stains. It can also be used to add water repellency to tents. Over time the DWR of outerwear and camp gear wears off. Regular waterproofing treatment of jackets and tents is highly recommended. The Revivex DWR formula creates a water repellent coating that stays on even after a wash. Choose the size that’s right for you from 10 -16.9 fl oz and ensure peak performance by pre-washing garments with Revivex Pro Cleaner. Ideal for use on waterproof-breathable fabrics like event®, NeoShell®, and GORE-TEX® fabric, too. For all types of reproofing projects, use Revivex Durable Water Repellent and get protection all season long. Review: 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. Review: It does work perfectly!!! - This product is amazing! I was very hesitant to buy it by read the reviews about it would stain the jacket. I used the whole bottle for 3 adult jackets, 3 kids jacket and a pants. Some tips I used: 1. Wash your jackets and total dry them. 2. Hang on outdoor somewhere for better spray and reduce irritation to yourself. I do wear mask and glasses, I feel I need a goggle because when it gets to my eyes I feel little irritated. 3. Gentle reverse the bottle multiple times every time before you use it to mix the solution well. 4. As the instructions says spay 5-10 inches away to the jackets. When you notice there are water dripping, wear gloves to wipe it. My strategy is make sure the spar even as possible. 5. For pretty wear out places, repeat spray 2-3 times . 6. Air dry or dryer at mid-low temperature for about 20minute minutes. When I spray the male yellow jacket which my husband used a lot for about 5 years, the spray made it wet and looks like a lot of pink/red stains. It looked scary, but when the jacket dried, the stains disappeared. I sprayed my husband yellow jacket 3 times, every time wait a little bit in between. I retested two yellow jackets under tap water. They are like new!! My kids jacket since I do not have enough spray, I can notice the got sprayed part waterproof and the other part still wet. So good even spray is very important. I just not sure how long the treatment will last if I use and wash the jackets again. ## Features - RESTORE DWR PROTECTION – Reapply durable water repellency to waterproof jackets, rain gear, ski wear, tents, and camping gear to help water bead off fabric surfaces - MAINTAIN FABRIC BREATHABILITY – Helps GORE-TEX and waterproof-breathable materials stay breathable by reducing fabric saturation and wet-out during outdoor use - PROTECT AGAINST WATER, DIRT & STAINS – Adds all-season protection to outerwear, backpacks, tents, and technical fabrics exposed to rain, mud, snow, and everyday wear - TREATS MULTIPLE GARMENTS – 5 oz spray treats 1–2 adult jackets, 10 oz spray treats 2–4 jackets, and 16.9 oz spray treats 4–6 jackets depending on garment size and coverage - FOR BEST PERFORMANCE – Wash gear first with Revivex Pro Cleaner before applying Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Spray to maximize waterproofing performance and longevity ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001EWHXV2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,124 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #670 in Camping & Hiking Equipment | | Brand | GEAR AID | | Brand Name | GEAR AID | | Contains Liquid Contents? | Yes | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 975 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00021563362251 | | Included Components | Revivex Durable Repellent 16.9 fl oz | | Item Form | Liquid | | Item Type Name | Water Repellent Spray | | Item Weight | 1.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | GEAR AID | | Material Feature | Fragrance Free | | Material Features | Fragrance Free | | Model Number | 36225 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 36225 | | Scent | Unscented | | Size | 16.9 Fl Oz (Pack of 1) | | Specific Uses For Product | synthetic fabric | | Surface Recommendation | Fabric | | UPC | 021563362251 | | Unit Count | 16.9 Fluid Ounces | | Warranty Description | 2 year manufacturer | ## Images ![Revivex Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Spray for Waterproof Jackets, Rain Gear, Gore-TEX, Tents & Camping Gear – Restore Waterproofing & Breathability, Various Sizes - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NYf5oKIyL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do i need to use both the gear aid revivex dwr spray and the gear aid wash-in repellent? or will one product revive my jacket? thanks!** A: Multiple sprays won't have any effect. This product simply sprays colored water. Additionally, it stained my jacket in blue splotches. **Q: what is the shelf life of this item?** A: It doesn't offer much (if any) protection when new, so I don't think it can get any worse with age. **Q: Does it affect your dryer** A: i love this stuff and have not had an issue with washing/drying afterwards and no it has not affected my dryer! **Q: Will this add waterproofing to any items it’s sprayed at? Including guns, radios, and flashlights?** A: As far as waterproofing I wasn't impressed. I want purchase it again. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff.

Since it was a warmer place, I decided to not bring raincoats and chance bucket hats instead. I have a couple fabric floppy hats (slightly wider brim than bucket hats, but not as wide as a straw floppy hat). I spent a couple days spraying down the 2 bucket hats and a baseball cap. I dried them outside and then ran them through about 15 min in the dryer. Repeat 3 times. It seemed to help with adding water resistance to my hats. Water seems to bead and run off more than previously. The spraying of this DWR was a bit odd. I had to gently rub the liquid onto the hats and work it into the seams. Then suddenly, the hat material was dripping. Spraying and drying outside is a great idea. There's a slight smell, but not too bad. I would definitely try this again with future hats and maybe when my raincoats need a new coating.
