WAX COTTON PROOF SPRAY-ON Neutral Waterproofer, Ads Water Repellency and Reduces Weight Caused by Water Absorption, Keeping You Warmer and Drier

Easy to use. Just apply well and thickly. You will see that the fabric initially seems white, don’t worry it sinks in when drying. Very good protection and finish for my wax jacket.

I've had my Barbour Northumbria for 8+ years and I've had it re-waxed a couple of times by Barbour in the early years. In the past 3-4 years I've done it myself with their own brand wax that you have to keep molten and apply. It's quite an effort, especially when you've been doing it for an hour or more and you're down to your pants because it's so hot in the kitchen with the oven on and using a hairdryer to get the wax into those harder to service areas like the seams etc.. Anyway, ordered this Nikwax stuff which Barbour now advertise and say it's ok to use. I've done two coats in around 40 mins (2 x 20 mins with an hour drying in between). My coat is like new. It's so easy to apply and the coverage is fantastic. As it's a literally spray it gets everywhere and into all those nooks and crannies. One bottle is more than enough to do two coats, I've got plenty left. I've saturated the coat on the second coverage and worked it in with a sponge. I've not had a chance to rain test it yet, but early signs are this is a fantastic product. There is a tiny whiff to it, but nothing that's off-putting. I tend to use white wine vinegar spray on the inside of the coat to freshen it up (as it'll sit unused for a few months) - this Nikwax adds to the service kit and will hopefully keep my coat going for many more years to come. Barbours aren't cheap initially, but mines been going strong for 8 years - if I have to rewax mid-winter, for £7-8 a bottle and 40 or so mins effort.. I'm really not going to complain.

Works as it should, quick drying time.

I found the nikwax wax cotton an excellent product .There isn't hardly anything on YouTube about how to apply it but it's really very simple.Lay the product flat ,spray on then spread evenly, leave a couple of minutes then wipe of any excess,that's it. There's is a chemical smell that I didn't like and it was still hanging around after a week. I decided to give the coat outer a blast with a WARM not HOT hairdryer for about 5 minutes and too my suprise the smell has virtually gone. I also sprayed it with a hose to see how waterproof it is and the water just ran of it. Loads less hassle than rewaxing ,takes about 20 minutes and does the job I didn't use the techwash to clean before hand just wiped it with cold water Coat looks like new

This worked really well although I used more than I expected. However my waxed coat is totally revitalised, looks great and performs well in our harshest weather

Easy to re proof my Barbour, just hang your coat up in the shower and then give it a good drenching with this and pad it down. I did a couple of coats for a medium size short jacket. Still had about 50% left. I went extra on shoulders and seams and after a few days the smell goes and works well as the water was beading again. Is it as good as proper waxing, no, but it’s good if you don’t want to spend that time and mess doing it. If it’s heaving down I wear goretex rather than wax.

This product is a mixture of water and zirconia acetate which is a very effective waterproofing agent but has zero natural wax in it.

Excellent at water proofing material, however the smell of the spray can be over powering on material and lingers, would it hurt to add some fragrance to it to help with the smell

Ayant déjà utilisé le produit Bar...b pour mes vestes huilées, j'ai testé celui-ci. Il est plus facile d'emploi (à vaporiser uniformément sur une veste propre dans un local aéré puis laisser séché sur cintre, une fois sec -une nuit- , essuyer le surplus avec une éponge, c'est tout) , efficace car le vêtement est bien imperméabilisé , l'odeur est meilleure (en forêt par contre le gibier sera prévenu ...), pas très cher (2 vestes XL avec une bouteille) ! A recommander +++++++++++++++

Ich habe eine Barbourjacke erstanden, bei der die Wachsbeschichtung komplett fehlte (2.Wahl). Nachdem ich bereits mehrere Barbour mit dem Originalwachs bearbeitet hatte, scheute ich den Aufwand und fand diese Alternative. Ich bin zufrieden: Jacke mit Schwamm befeuchten, Spray auftragen und mit dem Schwamm einreiben, trocknen lassen und fertig! Wasserdichtigkeit ist voll gegeben, aber die Jacke glänzt nicht so wie mit dem Originalwachs. Mich stört es nicht, aber wollte darauf hinweisen.

En otras ocasiones, he comprado la cera oficial, y otras de otras marcas para enterar mi chaqueta. Es un proceso un poco tedioso y luego normalmente se me quedaban pelusas en la chaqueta. XXX con este producto he conseguido un resultado similar y con una aplicación muy sencilla. Lo volvería a comprar.

Nonostante mi aspettassi una copertura più "coprente", passatemi il gioco di parole, nel senso più spessa quasi come il vecchio grasso di balena che usavo anni fa, devo ammettere che fa il suo dovere e non produce quello sgradevole e persistente puzzo che appestava stanza intere (solo appena steso ha un odore simil aceto che però svanisce dopo un paio di giorni)! Personalmente ho utilizzato un intero flacone solo per un Barbour Anche se alla vista sembra che non ci abbia applicato niente, bisogna avere l'accortezza di stendere bene con un panno pulito i vari spruzzi che si effettuano, magari insistendo nei punti dove più rovinato: il mio era molto stropicciato e devo ammettere che ho ottenuto buoni risultati! L'ho applicato più di un mese fa e fino ad oggi la tenuta è perfetta! davvero consigliato!
