GEAR AID Outerwear Kit with Revivex Pro Cleaner and DWR - Complete

In this review the GEAR AID Outerwear Kit with Revivex Pro Cleaner and Revivex Durable Water Repellent Spray proves to be a practical care system for owners of waterproof breathable outerwear. The bottom line: if you own GORE-TEX, eVent, NeoShell or similar shells and want a single kit to clean, restore breathability and reapply durable water repellent, this kit delivers simple, effective results without harsh chemicals. It is aimed at outdoor enthusiasts who prefer to maintain gear longevity at home and value a concentrated cleaner that can treat multiple garments.

Key Features

• Complete care system: Includes Revivex Pro Cleaner plus a choice of Wash-In or Durable spray to both clean and reproof waterproof breathable fabrics.
• Concentrated cleaner: The Pro Cleaner is concentrated and can wash up to 20 jackets or 10 sleeping bags, making it cost effective for regular maintenance.
• Restores breathability: The cleaner removes dirt and grime without stripping DWR, helping membranes like GORE-TEX and eVent regain performance.
• Multiple DWR options: Choose a wash-in water repellent for full-treatment or a breathable spray for targeted reproofing of insulated and non-insulated outerwear.
• On-the-spot repairs: Optional Tenacious Tape Mini Patches let you fix small tears instantly on nylon, polyester and vinyl without sewing.

Who It's For

The kit is best for hikers, backcountry skiers, anglers and anyone with technical outerwear who wants to preserve waterproofing and breathability between professional services. It also suits families or small guiding operations because the Pro Cleaner treats many garments, reducing per-item cost.

People who prefer single-use disposable cleaners or who need industrial-scale reproofing for large fleets of outerwear should look elsewhere; this is a consumer kit intended for routine home care and small repairs rather than commercial laundry service volumes.
