Review for model:

Nikwax products have almost all proven themselves; I have been using this type of product for many years and have never encountered any problems. Whether it's for outdoor equipment, motorcycle gear, etc. Nothing to complain about, you just have to follow the instructions for use properly.

For many years, I have used this impregnation spray on 4F Softshell jackets and others. It worked very well—the clothing maintained its properties and remained durable for a long time.

I recommend this product. I use it regularly on Helikon softshells. Its effect lasts a bit shorter than the original impregnation, but it doesn't bother me, as you can always repeat the impregnation from time to time.

The impregnation does its job. On a heavily used Helikon trooper, which had long lost its DWR coating, the effect is noticeable. However, I expected slightly better results, so I was a bit disappointed, but I also didn't use Tech-Wash according to the manufacturer's recommendations, which might have affected the weaker effect.
