Review on 🧀 Nikwax Waterproof Glove Proof - 4.2-Ounce for Enhanced Protection by Mike Calderon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Better than nothing

I used this product on a pair of ski gloves that used to be waterproof but goretex or anything else that was ever used started leaking around my thumbs. I apply a nice thick coat of Nikwax and let it dry overnight. The next day I went sailing with some friends and as this is Seattle of course it was raining. Admittedly this was quite a challenge for Nikwax as not only did we get wet in the pouring rain but also hauled in wet lines to trim the sails. The gloves lasted about an hour before they started leaking and curling up like sponges at the end of the sail - about 3 hours in pouring rain. All in all I think the product would have worked well had it not been for wet rope pulling.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
