Tents & Packs

Dirt, UV rays, and exposure to the elements weaken tent fabric and reduce water repellency. To keep your tent performing at its best, clean it with Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarWash®, which safely removes dirt while revitalising its Durable Water Repellency (DWR) and increasing UV resistance by 50%.

Over time, a tent’s water repellency wears off. Restore it with Nikwax Tent & Gear SolarProof®, which replenishes DWR and protects against UV damage, helping synthetic tents last longer. For canvas and cotton tents, clean with Nikwax Tech Wash® and enhance water resistance with Nikwax Cotton Proof™, designed specifically for cotton and polycotton fabrics.

For best results, apply UV protection when your tent is new to maximise longevity in the harsh New Zealand sun.
