FAQS
What is this product used for?
Restore Durable Water Repellency (DWR):
It provides a water‑beading surface to resist rain and moisture—making wetting‑out much less likely.
Protect against UV damage:
Synthetic fabrics can lose up to 50% of their strength after just two weeks of continuous sun exposure. Solar Proof forms a UV barrier that helps double the lifespan of gear by preventing UV degradation and preserving fabric strength.
