Have a wading jacket made by Nomad.... this is years old. Anyway... after I originally bought it, I found that it let water in..Had various discussions with the Nomad owner etc etc... and basically put it away... Its a lovely warm jacket and decided recently to try n revive it... after using Nixwax on it to treat it... it still lets in water... I gave it 2 treatments ie, 2 x Nixwax bottle sprays to the reccomendations on the bottles.. HELP please

hi
i use this to treat my horse rugs and never had a problem, give it extra down all seams and allow to dry throughly between coats and i do use a little more than recomended

hope this helps

I have done.... 2 bottles is plenty enough supposedly?... thinking of waxing it?

I use Nikwax on all my waterproof and fleeces and have even used it on my tent with great results. I would wash it first in Nikwax Tech Wash then wash it in Nikwax TX Direct instead of the sprays. I washed my works fleece in it and even after working all day in heavy rain I was always drier than the guys wearing the provided waterproof jackets

Carried it in full, then carry it out empty.

Sounds good to me Fishtales... will try that next .. thanks!

I have had a slightly different experience from Fishtales and yourself Captain.

Needed to reproof my Greys wading jacket a couple of years back. used the Nikwax wash to clean then the wash in proofer as Fishtales recommends.

P**h! is all i can say.

Tried it twice and it let in like a sieve.

Third time used the spray on proofer.

Got the girlfriend to wear the jacket, hood up so that I made sure that all was covered appropriately and liberally.

Fab job, water beading of it like a ducks back.

Due for another shot this year so for me it will be the wash and spray.
