The details

Everything on the bottle.

A premium, PFAS-free water-repellent spray. It lays down a breathable, invisible finish that causes rain and everyday water-based spills to bead and roll off — without changing the look or feel of the material.

Shake well. Test on a hidden spot first. Holding the bottle about 6 inches away, apply two light, even coats — let it flash off between coats. Let dry a full 24 hours before wear for the finish to cure.

Safe on suede, nubuck, smooth leather and canvas. Always test a hidden area first; natural materials vary.

PFAS-free, non-aerosol and water-based. Water-repellent only — it is not a guarantee against oil or grease stains. SDS available. Keep away from children; use in a ventilated space.

Got caught in a downpour a week after treating them. Water beaded right off and the suede looked untouched. Zero change to the color.

I stopped buying sneaker sprays once I read the labels. This is the first one I trust near my kids. Works beautifully on canvas.

Did nothing visible on my smooth leather tote — exactly what I wanted. Took two coats. Docking one star only because I wish the bottle were bigger.
