What do peeps use to keep their waterproof stuff waterproof?  Showers Pass recommends NikWax but that stuff has crappy reviews on REI.com.  So at the moment I'm looking at maybe Grangers 1-step waterproofer or maybe ReviveX, both of which are available through QBP.  Has anyone got any recommendations?

i've tried a few including nixwax and none were really satisfactory to me, nothing really sealed completely.

I don't know of the QBP products, but I can say that I don't see very many--if any--return of Nikwax at REI MB.

I would ask Kwang, honestly.

Nikwax will take something "waterproof" and make it WATERPROOF.  It also makes things water resistant "waterproof".  I hope that was cryptic enough.
