Water Repellent Spray for Eyeglasses While G1 is extremely long-lasting, Gtechniq is honest in mentioning that there is a trade-off between longevity and effectiveness when creating these formulas. Gtechniq admits that by making their G1 product last so long, it did lose some of its water-shedding properties. So if you want maximum water repellency but diminished product life, they point you to their Gtechniq G5. This only lasts 3 to 6 months but is more effective at shedding water, especially at lower speeds.

There are few things more dispiriting than wearing a new pair of shoes on a bad weather day, then coming home and finding water stains or rings of road salt once they’ve dried. Although there are plenty of ways to deal with stains after the fact, the best strategy against water damage is prevention, especially for shoes you plan to wear often or in unpredictable weather. Each waterproofing product is a little different—some are applied to wet products and some to dry, for example, and they each require a slightly different optimal spraying distance from the item—so it’s important to read the bottle instructions before you begin. In most instances, you’ll need a well-ventilated outdoor workspace for application, and you should cover that workspace with something like a tarp to keep the product excess contained. One option is to buy special waterproof cases for your glasses. These are typically made of silicone or another type of durable material and will keep your glasses safe from the elements. You can find these cases online or at some optometry stores. Fabric Guard for Outdoor Fabrics: This was one of the best-performing sprays we used. But it was also the most expensive. And it didn’t perform that much better than others to justify adding it to our list above. Still, if you’re looking to get a little spendy or want something specific for outdoor furniture, we highly recommend the 303 Fabric Guard for Outdoor Fabrics.Waterproofing sprays integrate a choice of two ingredients. They comprise silicone-based or water-based sprays. Due to the lighter and somewhat runny consistency, water-based sprays function best for more lightweight gear such as clothing and shoes. On the other hand, silicone-based sprays work best for heavy-duty fabrics such as tents or furniture covers. It seems that drivers love or loathe rain repellents, but this hasn’t prevented new products being introduced to the market in time for the autumn showers. Rain repellents tend to work for much longer than bodywork waxes, and many in this test were still performing well after nine weeks of testing. They’re also handy for cars without a rear windscreen wiper, as rain and some dirt is automatically cleared off.

You don’t have to apply the spray as frequently on furniture covers since you won’t be taking them out to extreme weather. Likewise, during the dry seasons, you don’t have to apply the waterproofing spray as frequently. You only want to apply it from time to time to protect your gear from stains. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 1. What Are The Benefits Of Using A Waterproof Spray For Outdoor Fabrics? Waterproofing your gear goes a long way to keeping you comfortable and even boosting your performance, whether you are out camping or hitting the nearby hiking trails. With a layer of fresh waterproofing agent on your gear, you can stay warm throughout your outdoor expedition. In addition to the waterproof protection, waterproofing sprays offer a cost-cutting solution. First of all, they tend to be more comfortable than other options since they don’t have to fit snugly around your eyes or face. They also don’t fog up as easily as goggles do, so you can actually see better while wearing them. And finally, they provide UV protection for your eyes, which is important when spending time in the sun. It requires no buffing or curing time, instead wiping straight off after spraying it on. It's not the most refined of products, and the protection offered can be measured in weeks, not months, but it's good value for money and will also double as a decent glass cleaner too.

Former Cut senior market editor Diana Tsui discovered Apple’s water repellent while searching for the right product to protect an “insanely expensive” Celine handbag from scratches and water damage. After trawling PurseForum and polling friends, “the overwhelming response was to choose Apple,” she says. “You’ll still need to use an umbrella but on drizzly days … the water rolls off easily, without staining. I once even spilled half an iced coffee down the front, without leaving a mark. Two years and many wears later, my beloved Céline bag looks almost as good as the day I bought it.” (She paired it with the brand’s leather care kit: “Since leather is a skin, you want it to be as plump and hydrated as your face” when you apply the spray, she says.) We recommend the Rain-X Plastic Water Repellent for use on any plastics, including motorcycle and boat windscreens. Some sprays contain perfluorochemicals (PFCs), a group of synthetic chemicals the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns remain in the environment—and in the human body—for years, so you’ll want to be especially careful using any of those, especially around pets and children. (Or just avoid them in general.) And aerosol sprayers, though they work well for consumers, also have a negative environmental impact. If you’re seeking to prevent those issues, choose a non-aerosol spray that doesn’t contain PFCs. A great analogy we like to use is you wouldn’t wax a dirty car so you wouldn’t waterproof a dirty item,” Allen explains. “While the waterproofing is the cool part of it all because you can see the beading, people forget that cleaning is the first, most important step in the waterproofing process.” The final results were impressive: Even a complete soaking had no impact on the material; it was ready to defend itself against all levels of wetting, and the breathability felt as good as new when hiking afterward.
