## Overview

Nikwax Tent And Gear Solarproof Spray-On Tent Waterproofer is a 500ml liquid treatment that restores water repellency and provides powerful UV protection to outdoor fabrics. Designed for tents, bags, and gear, it doubles fabric life by preventing sun damage and dries quickly for hassle-free packing. Easy to apply and allergen-free, it’s the essential shield for millennial adventurers who demand durability and eco-conscious performance.

## Description

Spray-on waterproofing and UV blocker for all weatherproof textiles including tents, awnings, marquees, rucksacks, panniers and camera bags. Two weeks UV exposure can halve the tear length of tents and one application of Tent and Gear SolarProof will double the fabric's life. Always apply Nikwax Tent and Gear SolarProof to new or used tents and equipment to keep items in perfect water-repellent condition, and protect against UV degradation, allowing them to work better for longer.

Review: New life for an older tent - My older tent has recently started to let some water in places, so it was either fix it or gert a new one. I had used Nikwax products before and foud them reliable, so decided to give this one a go to see if i could save my tent from landfill. I already had a suitable sprayer, so just filled it up and got to work. I chose a day which was not too sunny, as I did not want the waterproofer to dry too fast and end up with clearly visible spray marks. The day was warm and it did not take long for the spray-on to dry. Once complete, I was quite pleased with the result. To test the performance I pitched up the tent in my back garden when I knew it was going to rain. I was very pleased to discover that the waterproofer worked very well and I was not getting any more moisture coming through, in the same places where previously I had the problem. I would recommend.
Review: Great product doe's exactly what its designed for - I would ignore the negative reviews as they seem to have misunderstood what this product is and what it's used for. If your tent is currently leaking this will not help and has the possibility of making it worse. This product is used to add an outer protective coating that isn't waterproof but is water repellant. This will cause your tents fabric to start beading water so it runs off easier. Much like when having your car interior or home sofa protected with something like Scotchgard, the water will sit on top of the fabric rather than soaking straight into it. A water repellant is no good if your tent is leaking. Your tent can leak for 2 reasons: 1. (most common) Water coming through the seams of the tent. This is because they are not tightly woven like the main canopy is and over time the waterproof layer on the underside of them fails/cracks. If this is your case then you can buy a seam repair kit to solve this issue. Even the best tents have this problem over time. 2. Water is coming through your main canopy. This is due to the polyurethane coating that's applied to the inside of your nylon canopy wearing away or cracking. Again you will need a specialist repair product for that. This product MIGHT help in the fact it could bead the water away from the damaged areas but it also MIGHT make it much worse if the water beads onto the damaged areas. Either way, if your tent is currently leaking this isn't the product for you.

## Features

*by M***Y on 22 October 2015*

it does what it says .... we use it for the wings of a microlite to try to ensure the canvas wings dont perish from being stored damp in a cold hangar and from the intense sun in france .......as there are no holes in the wings and they haven't dropped off yet ....i think it must be a good product ........if it does air plane wings i am sure it will be fine for your canvas camping bags tents draw sheets rucksacks and maybe even shoes .......
