Let’s face it : every tent says it’s water resistant. That’s fine until the sky decides to go full apocalypse and test your seams like they owe it money. Some tents have decent coatings. Some have weak ones. And more often than not, the floor has a different rating than the canopy. That’s where smart people start adding a second line of defense. This spray is that defense. The Nikwax Solarproof is water-based — which is a huge deal for me. I don’t want to mess with something flammable or toxic, especially when I’m sleeping in it. You just clean the tent, spray it on while it’s still damp, and then wipe the excess with a towel. (I personally go with microfiber — it spreads better and doesn’t scratch anything.) I’ve used it before on other tents. This time it’s on my main one, and I’ll be testing it during a rainy weekend up north. Can’t lie — I already feel more confident just knowing it’s coated. Anyway, if you’re the kind of camper who actually cares about keeping gear in top shape, this is a no-brainer. Also : is there a better sound than rain hitting the canopy while you’re warm inside? Five stars.

I purchased this product on the recommendation of a friend. I have used it on multiple items and they have come out waterproof again. The instructions are clear. Good for multiple washes. I will be purchasing again.

We went camping and for stuck in the middle of a rain storm. Thank goodness for this product we didn't get one leak. As well the previous year we went we had moisture coming in our tent and condensation but this year we were completely dry.

not much to say, product works great. breathed new life into my 10 year old tent. 100% worth the money if you want to care for your camping gear. i will say it sprays poorly, but its not gonna matter cause you have to use a rag to spread it across the gear surface any way

Works as described, hoping this will give my older tent a few more seasons. Rained on first trip after treating and could tell it made a difference.
