I got soaked on the way home today. My (filthy) Altura nightvision jacket clearly needs a reproofing.
As both are expensive would anyone recommend one over the other?
(yes I know this is a dull post)
By all accounts there's no difference between them!! 🙂
I have just reproofed my walking jacket in Grangers fabsil. it's designed for tents but worked wonders for my jacket. You can get it as an aerosol (wasteful) or in a tin that you can dispense at your leisure and paint on your items. allow to dry and watch the rain bead like a new jacket!
By all accounts there's no difference between them
One is PVA based, the other is silicone based - Nikwax and grangers respectively.
I used to clean horse rugs for a living and always used Nikwax products-expensive but worth it.One bit of advice to anyone is that if you are going to wash anything waterproof you will need a soap based product as detergents take out the waterproofing
I keep reading about using soap based cleaners before waterproofing. Could soap flakes be a vastly cheaper alternative to the Nikwax tech wash?
