Product Information

It’s easy to use, and just a few sprays can keep your glasses clean and clear all day long. Plus, it’s great for preventing those annoying fingerprints from building up on your lenses.

There are many different types of water repellent coatings available for glasses, and the answer to whether or not they are worth it depends on a few factors. First, consider what type of activities you’ll be using your glasses for. If you’re an outdoor enthusiast who spends a lot of time hiking, biking, or running in wet conditions, then a water repellent coating can be very helpful in keeping your vision clear.This is why it’s important to invest in a waterproofing agent to help preserve your clothing and gear. In the buying guide below, we’ve shared key features for choosing the best waterproofing spray for outdoor fabrics. In addition, the guide walks you through selecting a spray formulated for your gear.

We tried the wash on a down blanket, which before testing, allowed water to slip through the outer shell immediately, leading to a few damp, chilly nights while camping, and we found the water resistance of that outer layer much improved after its wash and dry cycle. The blanket was nice and fluffy after testing, and there was no change to the color or texture of the exterior. It’s still not a fully waterproof item—it wasn’t designed to be—and we’ll do our best not to soak it intentionally, but now we're less worried about it accidentally getting a little wet.Position the spray about 15 to 20cm away from the garment or gear and spray it evenly across the outer surface Maximizes Breathability – Creates water resistant layer and allows waterproof-breathable garments to perform at its best Hydrophobic coatings can also help to prevent fingerprints and smudges from adhering to your lenses. How Do I Keep the Rain off My Glasses? lt;li>Compatible &ndash; Designed for use on technical fabrics including eVent, NeoShell and GORE-TEX materials; formula is PFOA and PFOS free</li> Water isn't the only enemy of fabric. UV rays from the sun can cause discoloration on some fabrics, so that might be a factor to consider when buying a waterproofing spray. And dirt can be an annoyance, too — some sprays can help protect against grime.

Some have hydrophobic coatings, which cause water to bead up and roll off the lens. Others have oleophobic coatings, which resist oil and fingerprints. And some glasses even come with self-cleaning coatings that help repel dirt and grime. Allen notes you can even waterproof items you might not have imagined. Nikwax and other manufacturers sell waterproofing products for cotton, fleece, and softshells, and you can use them on everything from your jeans to your Patagonia Synchilla Snap-T.You can also use Rain-X on Shower Doors, or on any glass doors or windows in your home, for more amazing water-beading magic! This is an aerosol product, and you must take extra care not to breathe in the vapors when spraying (the bottle even recommends you don’t allow children or pets near the spray or wet items). There is also a strong chemical smell. We tested in a well-ventilated breezeway and still had to step away for a few minutes after spraying the boots each time. The scent did linger longer than on some of the other products—even after the recommended 24 to 48 hours of drying time—but it eventually faded with time and wear. Especially if you are applying to a tent, for example, you’ll want to allow some time for the item to air out before use.
