5.0 out of 5 stars
I put this %$#* on everything, November 20, 2010
From jackets to backpacks, this stuff works pretty well. I don't have any complaints because I knew what I was paying for when I got it. This is not meant to be a one-time, spray and forget product. Make sure you have washed the item you're going to spray, or at least get it sopping wet, then spray liberally onto item, throw it in the dryer and let the heat do the rest. Let it sit a day or two if you can. In my experience, it seems to increase the effectiveness. No big deal if you can't, certainly don't have to. For $12, this'll get you through one hard season. Very easy to apply. If you can curl your finger, you can use this stuff. Don't be afraid to over-apply, there's no such thing. Every time I've used it, I have not been disappointed. Haven't got wet yet!

Works as advertized but not as "durable" as i expected, February 8, 2010
So this stuff does work and it makes your jacket look great. The fabric seems to laydown and form a nice even surface and looks like it would when it was "newer". I did notice after wearing it everyday for a couple of weeks, that it started to return to it's "older" look where the surface was very soft and looking a bit worn. The "beading" properties were reduced even though it only rained a couple of times on the jacket (The North Face, Mountain Jacket), walking from my office to my car (about 150 yards). It didn't take long for the water to soak through the outer layer, stopping at the gore tex lining, it began to feel clammy again. It already seems as if I need to retreat it. I'll write back to update after the next down pour.
I would get it again though, as it does return it somewhat to it's original water repellancy. This bottle, looks like it can do two jackets once.

Seems Durable, January 4, 2012
I applied this to my aging rain shell several weeks ago using the instructions on the bottle. After removing it from the dryer, I ran the faucet over the jacket for about 30 seconds and the water shed right off. When I take it out in the rain, water beads up and sheds for the first few minutes but the jacket thereafter begins to soak. However, I suspect that this is due to fact that I used Woolite while washing the jacket as this happens every time I enter the rain after the jacket dries (i.e., it repels water at first and then absorbs). Just before I applied the ReviveX, water was no longer beading up so I think it is safe to assume that the jacket has retained whatever the ReviveX added despite being rubbed on the shoulders and neck by my backpack. I intend to test this on another jacket that has been washed properly to see whether the spray or I am at fault for the jacket leaking.
