Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® 500ml

The easy to use, safe, high performance waterproofing and UV blocker for all synthetic weatherproof textiles.

Adds Durable Water Repellency, increases fabric strength & protects against UV deterioration; one application can double the effective life of fabrics. Can be applied to wet or dry synthetic fabrics.

Why exposure to UV can compromise synthetic materials...
Synthetic fabrics used for tents and rucksacks are coated with a water repellent treatment. Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light both destroys the water repellency and leads to a reduction in fabric tear strength, significantly shortening the lifespan of equipment.

The application of Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® can double the effective life of equipment by protecting against UV damage, while also providing Durable Water Repellency (DWR) to keep the rain out.

Tents and rucksacks use synthetic fabrics, such as nylon or polyester, with a thin watertight polyurethane (PU) or elastomeric coating on the inside and a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) coating on the outside. This combination gives great strength and water resistance, combined with light weight; ideal attributes for outdoor equipment.

Unfortunately these fabrics are vulnerable to sunlight and in two weeks of continuous exposure, can lose up to half of their strength. Additionally, the inner coating will degrade if it is left damp for long periods.

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® protects the entire fabric, from the effects of both UV and water.

To most effectively benefit from the ultraviolet (UV) and Durable Water Repellent (DWR) protection of Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® it is best applied to equipment from new.

During use the equipment fabric will pick up dirt and other contaminants which stop water from beading on the fabric surface. When this occurs the DWR can be revitalised by cleaning with Nikwax Tech Wash®.

Over time the DWR will wear off through use. Both the DWR and UV protection can be replenished by reapplication of Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof®.

Alternative waterproofing products are solvent-based, aerosols, or use fluorocarbons and leave a surface coating on your outdoor equipment. These products are flammable and from a health point of view it is best not to breathe in their solvent or propellant content.

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® is a safe product to use on your outdoor equipment. It is WaterBased, non-flammable, contains no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and is fluorocarbon free.

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® has been specifically designed and optimised for outdoor equipment to provide Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and ultraviolet (UV) protection. Unlike solvent-based products, which need to be applied to dry materials, Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® can be applied to wet or dry fabrics. So if your equipment is wet there is no need to wait for it to dry before you treat it with Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof®.

Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof® has been specifically formulated for synthetic outdoor equipment to provide Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and ultraviolet (UV) protection.

If your equipment is made of cotton, polycotton or canvas, make sure you use Nikwax Cotton Proof™ for best results.

Very soft and comfy, but not thick at all
Color: Sherpa Green, Size: King, Color: Sherpa Green, Size: King
The blanket is very soft and comfortable. Its also the correct size. However We were looking for something thicker and heavier for a winter blanket. This isn't that. Its pretty thin and lightweight. Fine for spring - fall but not great for winter. We ended up using it underneath our other comforter. It also has an awful smell when you first open it and it takes a few days for that smell to wear off.

Sooo soft
Color: Sherpa Red, Size: King
Was not expecting for this comforter to be this soft, true red in color. Even after washing it held up so well. It’s very warm for those cozy nights.
