Not expecting miracles here as truly waterproof even new is a tough goal.
But the reviews of stuff like Niki-wax and Revivex which Goretex recommends are so all over the place I thought I'd ask for personal experience.
There is both wash-in ....which I'd like for my Icon rain jacket which is dirty and losing it's waterproofing ( it's PVX and should be waterproof period ) and for things like my 501 tactical pants that are starting to lose their initial water resistance.
I basically want something that will resist getting wet a bit by beading up water on the surface. My 501s did initially - they had some sort of teflon treatment.
Anyone with direct experience?
