The NORRØNA Water Repellent Tech 400 ml Spray is a highly effective and easy-to-use product designed to restore or enhance the water repellency of your outdoor gear. Its standout feature is its ability to make garments, particularly Gore-Tex jackets, "like new" again, causing water to bead and roll off the fabric.
Main Activity & Use-Cases:
The most frequently mentioned activity in the reviews, and thus the main activity this product is recommended for, is general outdoor use, specifically in rainy conditions. Reviewers consistently highlight its effectiveness in making jackets and pants waterproof again for activities like hiking, hunting, skiing, and everyday wear in wet weather. It's also used to prolong the life of beloved Norrøna garments, including Lofoten, Falketind, Trollveggen, and Recon jackets and pants, as well as other shell garments from various brands. Many users apply it after washing their gear to maintain optimal performance.
Fit and Comfort Level (of the product's application):
The product is generally described as easy to use, with clear instructions. Many appreciate that it's odorless and doesn't leave a strong chemical smell. When applied correctly, it doesn't cause stains or affect the breathability of the fabric.
Criticisms and Areas for Improvement:
The primary criticism revolves around the spray nozzle/bottle design. Several users report that the nozzle produces a "jet" rather than a fine "mist," making even application difficult and leading to wasted product, drips, and potential stains. Some resorted to transferring the liquid to a different spray bottle for better results. A few users also experienced subpar performance, with their garments still soaking through after application, suggesting inconsistency in effectiveness or application. Durability of the water repellency is also mentioned as an area for improvement, with some noting a significant drop in performance after a month or two of daily use.
Conclusion:
The NORRØNA Water Repellent Tech 400 ml Spray is highly recommended for Norrøna enthusiasts and anyone with Gore-Tex or other shell garments who wants to restore or maintain their water repellency for general outdoor use in wet conditions. It's particularly beneficial for those looking to extend the lifespan of their existing gear. While the product itself is largely effective and easy to apply, potential customers should be aware of the common issue with the spray nozzle and consider having an alternative fine-mist spray bottle on hand for optimal application.
