NeverWet

I'll be spraying this stuff on my riding jackets and boots, (but not the soles, obviously). Watch the video at the link... absolutely amazing.

Edit: They've changed up the videos. The imbedded one is now the Rust-o-leum advertisement. Click the link just below the picture of the pair of canvas shoes for a six minute video about the product development and much more amazing demonstrations on cloth and cardboard surfaces.

That stuff looks amazing. I saw the original video about a year and a half ago, but hadn't been aware they were finally getting ready to sell it. I like the idea of waterproofing tents and shoes, but I'd be a bit wary about hitting clothing with it. It seems like it might keep the cloth from breathing properly when you wear it.

Interesting. The simple principle that they mention 'high angle of contact' with water makes it sound like the mechanism depends a lot on the geometry of the surface that it creates. If that's true then I wonder how well it holds up to constantly being pressed on or rubbed (like as a surface treatment on clothing or footwear). No doubt they've spent time trying make something that's usable. It'll be interesting to try it out.

(edit: if the 'high angles' mentioned are built at the molecular level, then obviously there's no surface to wear off except for the stuff itself ! duh..)

now that stuff looks like something that we used to use when I was on active duty to keep the rain and what not off of our uniforms... Gosh if I could remember what that was called. You sprayed it on but it was only one can and one coat needed. Scotchgard Water Repellent I remember it being in an aerosol can not a pump spray but who knows maybe this is better?

I am not sure if I would use that neverwet stuff on a riding coat... Especially a mesh one... Maybe on a NON-mesh as I wouldn't want to block the mesh...
