    • Spray On Waterproof

      Original Spray-On Formula

      ReviveX® Spray-On Water Repellent is a ‘universal’ application for hard shell outerwear as it only treats the outside of the garment, leaving interior (possibly wicking) liners untreated. The spray-on version is also ideal for treating down and synthetic insulated garments and sleeping bags. One benefit of the spray is that you can concentrate heaviest on areas where water repellent finishes (DWR) tend to wear first, such as the shoulders of a jacket or the seat of a pair of pants.

      Spray On Formula for Soft Shells

      Soft shells are more breathable and flexible than traditional hard shell waterproof breathable garments. ReviveX Spray-On Water Repellent for Soft Shells is specifically engineered to deeply penetrate soft shell fabric’s thick weave for maximum water repellency.

    • How ReviveX Works

      How ReviveX® Works

      All rainwear is factory treated on the outside with a special water repellent spray called DWR (for “Durable Water Repellent”). Over time that treatment wears off causing fabrics to “wet out” – which reduces breathability and creates excess condensation, making you damp and cold. ReviveX water repellents are unique because they bond to both the fabric and any remaining factory DWR creating the most durable water repellent finish available.
